CVE-2026-10274
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedA vulnerability was determined in indrasishbanerjee aem-mcp-server up to b5f833aef9b5dfd17a5991b3b18a8a11edbdc583. This impacts the function getAssetMetadata of the file src/mcp-server.ts of the component Axios Request Flow. Executing a manipulation of the argument assetPath can lead to server-side request forgery. The attack can be launched remotely. The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be utilized. This product does not use versioning. This is why information about affected and unaffected releases are unavailable. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceThis is a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in the aem-mcp-server's getAssetMetadata function. The assetPath argument is passed directly to an Axios HTTP request without validation, allowing an attacker to manipulate the request URL to target internal services, cloud metadata endpoints, or other internal infrastructure.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify aem-mcp-server installationLocate the aem-mcp-server package in your environment - check node_modules, project dependencies, or running services. Look for package.json or package-lock.json containing 'aem-mcp-server'.Affected if aem-mcp-server is present in your environment
-
Determine the installed versionCheck the version in package.json or package-lock.json, or run 'npm list aem-mcp-server' if installed as a dependency. Compare against any available fixed versions from the maintainer.Affected if the version lacks the security fix for the assetPath validation vulnerability
-
Verify getAssetMetadata function exposureLocate src/mcp-server.ts and confirm the getAssetMetadata function exists. Determine if it is exposed through an API endpoint, MCP tool, or other interface that accepts external input.Affected if the getAssetMetadata function is exposed and accepts user-controlled assetPath input
-
Inspect assetPath parameter handlingReview the getAssetMetadata function code in src/mcp-server.ts to check if assetPath undergoes validation, sanitization, or allowlist filtering before being used in requests.Affected if no validation exists on assetPath, allowing arbitrary URLs or internal resources to be specified
Your environment is affected if aem-mcp-server is running with an unpatched version where getAssetMetadata accepts unchecked assetPath input, enabling SSRF attacks.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedImplement strict input validation on the assetPath parameter using a URL allowlist or by parsing and validating URLs before passing them to Axios. Consider using the WHATWG URL API to verify hostname and protocol before making requests.
- Review the getAssetMetadata function in src/mcp-server.ts to identify where the assetPath parameter is used in Axios requests
- Implement strict input validation on the assetPath parameter to ensure it only contains expected, safe values (e.g., validate against an allowlist of permitted domains/paths, or reject URLs that point to internal/network resources)
- Add URL scheme validation to reject dangerous schemes like file://, gopher://, ftp://, etc.
- Implement request timeout and size limits on Axios requests to mitigate potential abuse
- Add authentication/authorization checks before allowing arbitrary assetPath values to be used in requests
- Validate that the assetPath does not resolve to internal IP addresses (127.0.0.1, localhost, 10.x.x.x, 192.168.x.x, etc.)
