Prior to 1.0.2, mcpgateway/config.py and .env.example ship a known JWT_SECRET_KEY, while verify_jwt_token() accepts HS256 tokens signed with that key and get_current_user() creates a platform administrator when the token subject matches PLATFORM_ADMIN_EMAIL and REQUIRE_USER_IN_DB is false. A remote unauthenticated attacker can therefore mint accepted administrator tokens without a database account. While the vulnerable signing key remains configured and the platform-admin bootstrap remains enabled, forged access survives password rotation, account deletion, and session revocation, allowing administrative disclosure, modification, and service disruption. This issue is fixed in version 1.0.2.\nhttps://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-53709https://github.com/IBM/mcp-context-forge/security/advisories/GHSA-m8rv-5m6m-32ffhttps://github.com/IBM/mcp-context-forge/commit/2af690f894b6e35f5f21190fdab1505f023a5272https://github.com/IBM/mcp-context-forge/releases/tag/v1.0.2#IBM #mcp-context-forge#CVE_2026_53709#bot", "url": "https://infosec.exchange/users/cve/statuses/117434219106708138"}, {"timestamp": "2026-10-13T15:17:44.873Z", "date_only": false, "value": "2026-10-13T15:17:44.873", "kind": "milestone", "label": "Published", "source": "fkie_nvd \u00b7 FKIE_CVE-2026-53709", "record": "FKIE_CVE-2026-53709", "field": "published"}, {"timestamp": "2026-10-13T15:30:06.585Z", "date_only": false, "value": "2026-10-13T15:30:06.585013Z", "kind": "sighting", "label": "Seen", "source": "https://bsky.app/profile/stackflag.bsky.social/post/3mxrdymvstj2l", "record": "CVE-2026-53709", "field": "creation_timestamp", "uuid": "a04967ed-9034-4c2b-99b6-fcd6f4d56525", "content": "CVE-2026-53709 - mcp-context-forge\nThe MCP Context Forge gateway and admin console before version 1.0.2 includes a default secret key that anyone can use to create valid admin tokens.
