CVE-2026-38924: CWE-669 Incorrect Resource Transfer Between Spheres in Oraios AI Serena
CVE-2026-38924 affects Oraios AI Serena versions before 1.0.0, where the MCP server in HTTP mode listens on 0.0.0.0. This configuration allows the server to accept connections from any network interface, which the supplier identified as a potential security hazard. The official documentation at the time recommended running Serena in a sandboxed environment and suggested using 127.0.0.1 instead of 0.0.0.0 to limit exposure.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
In Oraios AI Serena versions prior to 1.0.0, the MCP server's HTTP mode listen address is set to 0.0.0.0, meaning it listens on all network interfaces. This setting can expose the server to network-based interactions beyond the local host. The supplier noted this as a potential security risk, while the Serena documentation recommended running the software in a sandboxed environment and proposed using 127.0.0.1 to restrict listening to the local interface. No patch or official fix is indicated in the available data.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability allows the MCP server to accept HTTP connections from any network interface, potentially increasing the attack surface. However, the CVSS score of 2.9 (low severity) and vector indicate that exploitation requires local access (AV:L), high attack complexity (AC:H), no privileges required (PR:N), no user interaction (UI:N), and results in low impact on integrity only (I:L) without confidentiality or availability impact. There are no known exploits in the wild.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or fix is currently documented. The vendor documentation recommends running Serena in a sandboxed environment and configuring the MCP server to listen on 127.0.0.1 instead of 0.0.0.0 to reduce exposure. Users should follow these recommendations to mitigate potential risks.
