CVE-2026-88257

Status: DeferredMedium (5.3)—

Improper Input Validation vulnerability in BeamMCP.Schema in ScriptKittyOS beam_mcp allows an MCP client to reach a tool's dispatch function with arguments that violate the input schema the server advertised. BeamMCP.Schema.validate/2 checked type, required, additionalProperties, enum and numeric bounds on the top-level arguments object only. Constraints inside nested objects and on array items (items, minItems, maxItems, minLength, maxLength, pattern, nested required, enum and additionalProperties: false) were advertised by tools/list and never checked at tools/call or prompts/get, and keywords outside the enforced subset (oneOf, anyOf, $ref) were advertised and ignored.

Read full descriptionShow less

A host whose dispatch code relies on the schema it declared receives values the schema forbids, such as an out-of-range number or an undeclared key inside a nested object. What the host does with such a value decides the impact.

This issue affects beam_mcp: from 0.1.0 before 0.10.1.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).

🎯 ATT&CK techniques

How this vulnerability is exploited and what the attacker gains, in MITRE ATT&CK terms.
