CVE-2026-108698
hyper-mcp through 0.8.3 contains a signature verification bypass vulnerability in load_wasm in src/wasm/oci.rs that verifies the Cosign signature of a separately resolved tag rather than the loaded manifest.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.24%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
hyper-mcp through 0.8.3 contains a signature verification bypass vulnerability in load_wasm in src/wasm/oci.rs that verifies the Cosign signature of a separately resolved tag rather than the loaded manifest. Attackers controlling registry responses for the tag can serve an unsigned malicious manifest to the loader and a signed one to Cosign, executing unsigned WebAssembly plugins with configured host capabilities.
