CVE-2026-55604

# Cross-Session Data Exposure via Caller-Controlled `session_id` Project / Repository: `arikusi/deepseek-mcp-server` Affected version / commit tested: `1.6.0` / `04f28be2c6e99d3d4e443a6ae37cc35f0a71554a` Vulnerability type: Authorization bypass / cross-session data exposure Authentication required: No ## Summary The process-global `SessionStore` accepts caller-supplied `session_id` values without binding them to any authenticated principal or transport session. An attacker can enumerate active session IDs via `deepseek_sessions`, then reuse a victim-controlled `session_id` in `deepseek_chat` to retrieve and continue the victim's conversation context. ## Affected Code - `src/session.ts:42` - caller-controlled session IDs are looked up directly from the global in-memory map. - `src/session.ts:67` - a new session is stored under the caller-controlled ID without ownership binding. - `src/session.ts:109` - `getMessages()` retrieves messages for any supplied session ID. - `src/tools/deepseek-chat.ts:195` - `deepseek_chat` creates or reuses the supplied `session_id`. - `src/tools/deepseek-chat.ts:197` - previous messages are loaded from the supplied `session_id`. - `src/tools/deepseek-chat.ts:198` - previous messages are prepended into the attacker-controlled request. - `src/tools/deepseek-chat.ts:243` - attacker-provided user messages are appended into the reused session. - `src/tools/deepseek-chat.ts:245` - assistant responses are appended back into the reused session. - `src/tools/deepseek-sessions.ts:37` - `deepseek_sessions list` enumerates all active sessions. - `src/tools/deepseek-sessions.ts:53` - each enumerated session ID is rendered back to the caller. ## PoC Overview 1. Create a victim conversation with `session_id = "victim-session"`. 2. Call `deepseek_sessions` with `action = "list"` and observe that `victim-session` is disclosed. 3. Call `deepseek_chat` again with `session_id = "victim-session"` from a separate attacker flow. 4. The upstream request
