Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: universal-tool-calling-protocol
Product: python-utcp

Description

python-utcp is the python implementation of UTCP. Prior to 1.1.3, the utcp-http plugin is vulnerable to a blind Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) caused by a trust-boundary inconsistency between manual discovery and tool invocation.register_manual() validates the discovery URL against an HTTPS / loopback allowlist, but call_tool() and call_tool_streaming() reuse the resolved tool_call_template.url directly without revalidating, and the OpenAPI converter blindly trusts whatever servers[0].url an attacker-hosted spec declares. An attacker who hosts a malicious OpenAPI spec on a legitimate HTTPS endpoint can declare e.g.servers: [{ url: "http://127.0.0.1:9090" }] or servers: [{ url: "http://169.254.169.254" }]; the OpenAPI converter then produces tools whose URL points at internal services on the agent host. All three HTTP-class protocols (utcp_http.http, utcp_http.streamable_http, utcp_http.sse) shared the same gap. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.1.3.

Technical Analysis

The python-utcp project’s utcp-http plugin before version 1.1.3 is vulnerable to a blind SSRF due to inconsistent validation of URLs. While register_manual() validates discovery URLs against an HTTPS and loopback allowlist, call_tool() and call_tool_streaming() reuse the resolved tool_call_template.url without revalidation. The OpenAPI converter trusts the servers[0].url field from attacker-controlled OpenAPI specifications, enabling attackers to direct requests to internal IP addresses such as 127.0.0.1 or 169.254.169.254. This affects all HTTP-based protocols in the plugin and allows attackers to coerce the agent into making requests to internal services. The vulnerability is resolved in version 1.1.3.

Potential Impact

An attacker who can host a malicious OpenAPI specification on a legitimate HTTPS endpoint can exploit this vulnerability to cause the python-utcp agent to send requests to internal network services that are normally inaccessible externally. This can lead to information disclosure or interaction with internal services, but the CVSS score of 4.7 and medium severity rating indicate limited impact, with no known exploits in the wild. The vulnerability requires user interaction and has a high attack complexity.

Mitigation Recommendations

This vulnerability is fixed in python-utcp version 1.1.3. Users should upgrade to version 1.1.3 or later to remediate this issue. There is no official patch or temporary workaround detailed beyond upgrading. Since this is not a cloud service, remediation depends on applying the fixed version. Patch status is not explicitly stated in the vendor advisory, but the description confirms the fix in 1.1.3.
