CVE-2026-123812dynatrace-oss dynatrace-mcp missing authorization
CVE-2026-123812 is a missing authorization in dynatrace-oss dynatrace-mcp, rated low (3.7 on CVSS 3.1).
Why this priority: Low severity, with no exploitation signal.
Published · Updated · NVD status: Received
What it is
An action never checks whether the caller is allowed to perform it.
How it is reached
An attacker can exploit it over the network, without an account, and nobody has to click anything. Success also depends on conditions the attacker does not fully control.
What an attacker gains
The direct impact is limited: partial access to data or a partial outage. In practice, this kind of flaw lets an attacker reach data or actions their role should not allow.
Is it being exploited?
CISA's SSVC assessment notes a public proof of concept.
What to do
- Upgrade dynatrace-oss dynatrace-mcp to 1.8.7 or later.
- Until it is patched, keep it off the internet or behind a VPN, allowlist or authenticating proxy.
Description from NVD
Dynatrace MCP Server is an MCP server for Dynatrace Observability. Prior to 1.8.7, the create_dynatrace_notebook registration in src/index.ts performs a persistent document-write action without calling requestHumanApproval, although the project's other write tools use that gate to obtain operator consent. A caller can create tenant-visible notebooks containing attacker-controlled Markdown or DQL content, and tenant users may later execute embedded DQL when opening the notebook. The tool also lacks a destructiveHint annotation that would signal its side effects to MCP clients. This issue is fixed in version 1.8.7.
What this means for your architecture.
A CVE names a product. Whether it matters depends on where that product sits in your systems: what reaches it, which trust boundary it guards and what it can reach once compromised. Veriom maps your components, their relationships and your trust boundaries from your code, cloud and delivery evidence, so you can see where a component like this sits. The radar itself does not look at your systems.
Components it touches
- Permission checks in APIs and admin surfaces. The flaw sits between one role or tenant and another.
- Multi-tenant services. The flaw sits between one role or tenant and another.
Trust boundaries in play
- Internet-facing entry points. No account is needed. Any instance reachable from outside your perimeter, through a load balancer, gateway, VPN or exposed admin port, is in scope.
- Between one role or tenant and another. An attacker who crosses it can reach data or actions their role should not allow.
Questions to answer about your own systems
- Where does dynatrace-oss dynatrace-mcp run in your systems, and at which version?
- Which of those instances can be reached from the internet or partner networks?
- What can it reach once compromised: which data stores, secrets and services?
