Exploitation Status

No confirmed exploitation observed yet

  • CISA assesses this as automatable — exploitation doesn’t require manual, per-target effort, which raises the odds of mass scanning and opportunistic attacks.
  • A successful exploit gives an attacker total control of the affected component, not partial access.
  • CISA’s own triage has not observed active exploitation or public proof-of-concept code for this CVE as of its last assessment.

Description

Impact

Uni-CLI versions before 0.225.2 exposed the legacy JSON-RPC-over-HTTP MCP transport on loopback without validating browser Origin headers before routing requests. A malicious web page could send a CORS simple POST request, such as text/plain, to the local /mcp endpoint and deliver a JSON-RPC body to the dispatcher. If the user had started the local MCP HTTP transport, that page could drive tools/call requests against the user's local Uni-CLI server.

The Streamable HTTP transport already enforced this browser-to-localhost boundary. The legacy stateless HTTP path did not, so the two HTTP transports had drifted. This issue is about the browser-to-localhost boundary; it does not change Uni-CLI's local-code-execution trust model.

Patches

Version 0.225.2 fixes the issue by moving the Origin policy into a shared guard and applying it before routing in both HTTP transports. Non-loopback browser Origins are rejected with HTTP 403 before health, OAuth, or /mcp dispatch runs. Non-browser clients that omit Origin remain supported.

Workarounds

Upgrade to 0.225.2 or later. If upgrading is not immediately possible, do not expose the legacy HTTP MCP transport to browser-originated traffic; use the default stdio transport or the Streamable HTTP transport instead.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency
  1. Detect

    Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for @zenalexa/unicli, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

  2. Fix

    Update @zenalexa/unicli to 0.225.2 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-58497 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. 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.
