Fixes

Solution

IBM strongly recommends addressing the vulnerability now. Product(s)Version(s) number and/or range Remediation/Fix/InstructionsIBM ContextForge MCP Gateway<=v1.0.6 https://github.com/IBM/mcp-context-forge/pull/5925_


Workaround

Workarounds/Mitigation guidance: No complete workaround exists without upgrading. As a partial mitigation, restrict tool-creation permissions (`tools.create`) to fully trusted users only, limiting the pool of accounts that could stage a registration with a controlled hostname. This does not eliminate the vulnerability but reduces exposure in environments where least-privilege access controls are enforced. IBM strongly recommends upgrading to v1.0.7 or higher.
