CVE-2026-30856
MEDIUMCVE-2026-30856 is a medium-severity (CVSS 5.9) CWE-706 vulnerability in github.com/Tencent/WeKnora. O3 Security confirms whether CVE-2026-30856 is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
WeKnora: Tool Execution Hijacking via Ambigous Naming Convention In MCP client and Indirect Prompt Injection
Real-World Exposure

Description
WeKnora is an LLM-powered framework designed for deep document understanding and semantic retrieval. Prior to version 0.3.0, a vulnerability involving tool name collision and indirect prompt injection allows a malicious remote MCP server to hijack tool execution. By exploiting an ambiguous naming convention in the MCP client (mcp_{service}_{tool}), an attacker can register a malicious tool that overwrites a legitimate one (e.g., tavily_extract). This enables the attacker to redirect LLM execution flow, exfiltrate system prompts, context, and potentially execute other tools with the user's privileges. This issue has been patched in version 0.3.0.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for github.com/Tencent/WeKnora. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Fix
Update github.com/Tencent/WeKnora to 0.3.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-30856 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether CVE-2026-30856 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to CVE-2026-30856. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
