GHSA-v4p8-mg3p-g94g

### Impact Two endpoints used to preview an MCP server before saving it — `POST /mcp-rest/test/connection` and `POST /mcp-rest/test/tools/list` — accepted a full server configuration in the request body, including the `command`, `args`, and `env` fields used by the stdio transport. When called with a stdio configuration, the endpoints attempted to connect, which spawned the supplied command as a subprocess on the proxy host with the privileges of the proxy process. The endpoints were gated only by a valid proxy API key, with no role check. Any authenticated user — including holders of low-privilege internal-user keys — could therefore run arbitrary commands on the host. ### Patches Fixed in **`1.83.7`**. Both test endpoints now require the `PROXY_ADMIN` role, bringing them into line with the save endpoint. ### Workarounds If upgrading is not immediately possible, developers should block `POST /mcp-rest/test/connection` and `POST /mcp-rest/test/tools/list` at their reverse proxy or API gateway.
