DBHub MCP server: unauthenticated DNS-rebinding lets any website invoke database MCP tools from a victim's browser (CVE-2026-61742, CVSS 9.3)

VulnerabilityHigh impactGlobalCVE-2026-61742
DBHub (Bytebase's database MCP server for Postgres/MySQL/SQL Server/Oracle/MariaDB/SQLite) versions < 0.22.5 expose an unauthenticated HTTP MCP endpoint when run with the documented HTTP transport (--transport http --port 8080). The Origin-vs-Host hostname check is defeated by DNS rebinding, so a malicious website can deterministically invoke DBHub MCP tools (read/enumerate/write database contents) from the victim's browser with no prompt injection or model involvement. Fixed in 0.22.5. CISA SSVC marks exploitation 'poc', automatable 'yes', technical impact 'total'.
This is a novel agent-execution attack class against widely used MCP infrastructure: the MCP tool server itself is the vulnerable surface, reachable by any web page a victim visits. A database MCP server is typically granted broad SQL access, so browser-based DNS rebinding turns a single page view into database read/write - no AI model or prompt injection required.
Attacker-controlled domain rebinds to the victim-accessible DBHub HTTP server; malicious website then issues MCP tool calls (SQL queries) from the victim's browser without authentication.
DBHub database MCP server < 0.22.5 (HTTP transport mode)
Upgrade to DBHub 0.22.5 or later; do not expose the MCP HTTP endpoint to the network / bind to localhost where possible.
