Published Nov 13, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 7.4 High EPSS n/a KEV · Not listed
Description
IBM ContextForge MCP Gateway 1.0.0 through 1.1.0 could allow an attacker to replay identity propagation claims signatures or expose sensitive user identity information to third-party MCP servers due to static signature payloads and missing per-gateway configuration checks during tool invocation.

Remediation
