CVE-2026-65056
mcp-webresearch Server-Side Request Forgery in visit_page Due to Missing Internal-IP Filtering
Description

mcp-webresearch 0.1.7 contains a server-side request forgery vulnerability that allows attackers to access internal network services by supplying loopback, link-local, or cloud metadata addresses to the visit_page tool, which only validates the URL protocol without filtering private or reserved IP ranges. Attackers can steer the LLM-controlled URL argument through prompt injection to navigate the server's Playwright browser to internal endpoints such as cloud instance metadata services, causing the server to return sensitive internal page content including credentials into the model context.

Solution
Validate all outbound network requests to prevent access to internal services.
  • Update mcp-webresearch to a version that filters private IP ranges.
  • Implement strict URL validation for user-supplied inputs.
  • Block requests to internal and reserved IP addresses.
  • Restrict access to sensitive metadata services.
