CVE-2026-77363
obsidian-tc Streamable HTTP transport permits cross-origin loopback vault access
obsidian-tc is a governed, agent-ready Model Context Protocol server for Obsidian vaults. Prior to 1.3.1, the Streamable HTTP transport does not validate the Host or Origin header or enable DNS-rebinding protection. When the documented loopback configuration uses auth.mode set to none, a malicious web page can send requests to the local MCP endpoint and receive unrestricted vault access through the http-local caller. Version 1.3.1 fixes the vulnerability by enabling host, origin, and DNS-rebinding validation.

9.6
obsidian-tc HTTP transport lacks Origin/DNS-rebinding protection, enabling drive-by vault access on loopback
Impact
The Streamable HTTP transport was constructed without enableDnsRebindingProtection/allowedHosts/allowedOrigins and performed no Origin-header validation. With the documented auth.mode: "none" loopback default, a drive-by web page could POST http://127.0.0.1/mcp and receive caller http-local with scopes ["*"] — full vault read/write — via DNS rebinding / a forged Origin.
Patches
Fixed in 1.3.1. Upgrade to >= 1.3.1. The transport now enables DNS-rebinding protection and allowed hosts/origins and returns HTTP 403 on an invalid Origin (per MCP 2025-11-25).
Workarounds
Do not expose the HTTP transport with auth.mode: "none"; require JWT auth, or bind to a non-loopback interface behind a proxy that validates Origin.
