CVE-2026-108583
zotero-mcp 0.10.0 through 0.14.1 contains a server-side request forgery vulnerability that allows attackers to reach internal services because _fetch_embedded_metadata fetches URLs without destination validation.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.21%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
zotero-mcp 0.10.0 through 0.14.1 contains a server-side request forgery vulnerability that allows attackers to reach internal services because _fetch_embedded_metadata fetches URLs without destination validation. Attackers can steer the agent via prompt injection into calling zotero_add_by_url, causing requests to loopback, private, or link-local hosts directly or via redirects, leaking citation meta-tags and error details.
