CVE-2026-79748 affects MCPHub, a unified hub for managing and orchestrating MCP servers/APIs. Prior to version 0.12.15, the POST /api/servers and PUT /api/servers/:name endpoints allowed any authenticated non-admin user to create or update server configurations without proper authorization checks. These endpoints immediately spawn the configured process via child_process.spawn without any command allowlist or sanitization. An attacker with valid (non-admin) credentials could supply arbitrary commands such as /bin/sh with arbitrary arguments, resulting in remote code execution as the MCPHub server's OS user. In many deployment scenarios including the official Docker image and npx/systemd setups, this user is root, making the impact critical. The vulnerability has been patched in MCPHub version 0.12.15.
