Medium (4.1) in ibm contextforge mcp gateway.
On this page
IBM ContextForge MCP Gateway 1.0.0 through 1.0.11 is vulnerable to improper access control in the bulk import path. A remote authenticated attacker holding a team-scoped `admin.import` permission can overwrite the endpoint URL, request headers, and authentication credentials of public tools, resources, and prompts owned by other tenants by sending a crafted POST request to `/v1/import` with `conflict_strategy=update`, redirecting subsequent AI gateway invocations to an attacker-controlled host.

Explain CVE-2026-110178 for an engineer deciding whether to act. Use https://cve.bz/api/public/cves/CVE-2026-110178?via=ask-ai-copy and https://cve.bz/cve/CVE-2026-110178?via=ask-ai-copy as the source of truth: what is affected and which versions fix it, whether it is in CISA KEV, public exploits, and its EPSS (an internet-wide 30-day estimate of exploitation activity, not a forecast for my systems). If they give no fixed versions, use the CVE record https://cveawg.mitre.org/api/cve/CVE-2026-110178 or the vendor advisory, not third-party mirrors. Tell me how to check whether I am affected and how to verify a fix. Cite the sources and say where they are uncertain.Opens a third-party assistant; its answer is its own, not cve.bz's.
