CVE-2026-49257

mcp-pinot is a Python-based Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for interacting with Apache Pinot. In versions 3.0.1 and below, mcp-pinot defaults to running an HTTP MCP server bound to 0.0.0.0:8080 with no authentication enabled. All MCP tools, including SQL query execution, schema creation, and table-config mutation, are reachable by any network-adjacent caller. The server proxies these calls using server-side Pinot credentials, producing a confused-deputy condition that yields full read/write access to the configured Pinot cluster. This issue has been fixed in version 3.1.0

Analysis

mcp-pinot permite el acceso total de lectura y escritura a clusters de Apache Pinot debido a que el servidor HTTP carece de autenticación por defecto y escucha en todas las interfaces de red. Cualquier atacante con acceso a la red puede ejecutar consultas SQL arbitrarias, crear esquemas y modificar configuraciones de tablas. Es imperativo actualizar a la versión 3.1.0 para evitar la exposición total de la base de datos vinculada.
