Threat metrics

Exploit Maturity: POC

Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable system is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed below, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed “remotely exploitable” and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: The attacker must take no measurable action to exploit the vulnerability. The attack requires no target-specific circumvention to exploit the vulnerability. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable system.
Attack Requirements: None: The successful attack does not depend on the deployment and execution conditions of the vulnerable system. The attacker can expect to be able to reach the vulnerability and execute the exploit under all or most instances of the vulnerability.
Privileges Required: Low: The attacker requires privileges that provide basic capabilities that are typically limited to settings and resources owned by a single low-privileged user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges has the ability to access only non-sensitive resources.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without interaction from any human user, other than the attacker.
Vulnerable system confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact to the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system availability: Low: Performance is reduced or there are interruptions in resource availability. Even if repeated exploitation of the vulnerability is possible, the attacker does not have the ability to completely deny service to legitimate users. The resources in the Vulnerable System are either partially available all of the time, or fully available only some of the time, but overall there is no direct, serious consequence to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the Subsequent System or all confidentiality impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the Subsequent System or all integrity impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Subsequent System or all availability impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Exploit Maturity: POC: Based on threat intelligence sources each of the following must apply: · Proof-of-concept is publicly available · No knowledge of reported attempts to exploit this vulnerability · No knowledge of publicly available solutions used to simplify attempts to exploit the vulnerability

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 5 Oct 2025
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: evidence found.

Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation
Observed by OffSeq MirageSeen by Mirage: no evidence on record.
No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), CVSS vector, the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

These include restricting network access to MCPHub management interfaces using firewalls or VPNs to limit exposure to trusted administrators only. Employ strict input validation and sanitization proxies or web application firewalls (WAFs) that can detect and block command injection patterns targeting MCPHub endpoints. Monitor logs and network traffic for unusual command execution attempts or anomalous behavior indicative of exploitation attempts. Consider isolating MCPHub servers in segmented network zones with limited connectivity to critical assets. If feasible, temporarily disable or restrict the vulnerable functionality within MCPHub until a patch is released. Engage in threat hunting activities focused on this vulnerability and update incident response plans to include detection and remediation steps for CVE-2025-11285 exploitation. Maintain close monitoring of vendor communications for any forthcoming patches or advisories. Finally, consider alternative software solutions if MCPHub is critical and no timely patch is expected.

Description

A vulnerability was found in samanhappy MCPHub up to 0.9.10. Affected by this issue is some unknown functionality of the file src/controllers/serverController.ts. The manipulation of the argument command/args results in os command injection. The attack can be launched remotely. The exploit has been made public and could be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.

Impact

For European organizations, exploitation of CVE-2025-11285 could lead to unauthorized remote code execution on servers running MCPHub, potentially resulting in data theft, service outages, or lateral movement within networks. Organizations in sectors such as critical infrastructure, finance, telecommunications, and government that rely on MCPHub for server management or orchestration are at particular risk. The vulnerability’s ability to be exploited remotely without authentication lowers the barrier for attackers, increasing the likelihood of compromise. Given the vendor’s lack of response and absence of patches, organizations face prolonged exposure. The medium severity rating suggests moderate impact, but real-world consequences could escalate if attackers leverage this vulnerability as a foothold for broader attacks. The availability of public exploit code further raises the risk of automated or opportunistic attacks targeting European entities. Disruption or compromise of MCPHub-managed systems could affect operational continuity and data confidentiality, with potential regulatory and reputational consequences under GDPR and other European cybersecurity regulations.
