Is your app affected by CVE-2026-77363?
Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Cursor or any AI coding tool: it runs a free Shippable scan of your project and fixes what it finds. Built with Lovable, Bolt or v0? Scan your live app. Or upload your package file.
Who is affected
obsidian-tc(npm) < 1.3.1
How to check
- Run
npm ls obsidian-tcin your project to see the installed version, including copies pulled in by other packages. - Or paste your lockfile into the checker: it lists every package with a known vulnerability, this one included.
- Or run
npx shippable-dev scan localhost:3000in your project folder. It reads your lockfile and flags this vulnerability along with every other known one.
How to fix
Copies a prompt for Claude Code, Cursor or Codex: it checks your lockfiles for this and upgrades it.
- Upgrade
obsidian-tcto 1.3.1 or later, commit the lockfile and redeploy. - If a vulnerable version was live, check your logs and rotate the secrets that server could read.
The advisory
### Impact
The Streamable HTTP transport was constructed without `enableDnsRebindingProtection`/`allowedHosts`/`allowedOrigins` and performed no `Origin`-header validation. With the documented `auth.mode: "none"` loopback default, a **drive-by web page could `POST http://127.0.0.1/mcp`** and receive caller `http-local` with scopes `["*"]` — full vault read/write — via DNS rebinding / a forged Origin.
### Patches
Fixed in **1.3.1**. Upgrade to `>= 1.3.1`. The transport now enables DNS-rebinding protection and allowed hosts/origins and returns HTTP 403 on an invalid Origin (per MCP 2025-11-25).
### Workarounds
Do not expose the HTTP transport with `auth.mode: "none"`; require JWT auth, or bind to a non-loopback interface behind a proxy that validates `Origin`.
Check your whole app
Dependencies are only half of it. Free and read-only: before you push, run npx shippable-dev scan localhost:3000 in your project folder, no account needed. For your live app, you prove it's yours with a one-line tag first.
