CVE-2026-15501: AstrBotDevs AstrBot MCP Test Endpoint tools.py ToolsRoute.test_mcp_connection server-side request forgery

A security vulnerability has been detected in AstrBotDevs AstrBot up to 4.25.2. Affected by this issue is the function ToolsRoute.test_mcp_connection of the file astrbot/dashboard/routes/tools.py of the component MCP Test Endpoint. The manipulation of the argument mcp_server_config.url leads to server-side request forgery. The attack is possible to be carried out remotely. The exploit has been disclosed publicly and may be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Plain-English summary

CVE-2026-15501 is a server-side request forgery issue in AstrBot’s MCP Test Endpoint. An authenticated remote user may be able to make the AstrBot server send unintended requests. This can expose internal services or data reachable from the server. Public exploit material exists, but the provided sources do not show confirmed active exploitation.

Executive priority

Treat as a near-term remediation item for internet-exposed or multi-user AstrBot deployments. The issue is not currently KEV-listed, but public exploit material and potential internal-network access make access restriction and monitoring important now.

Technical view

AstrBotDevs AstrBot 4.25.0, 4.25.1, and 4.25.2 are affected. The issue is in ToolsRoute.test_mcp_connection in astrbot/dashboard/routes/tools.py, where mcp_server_config.url can be manipulated to trigger SSRF. VulDB rates it CVSS 2.0 score 6.5 with network access, low complexity, and authentication required.

Likely exposure

Risk is highest where the AstrBot dashboard or MCP testing capability is reachable by untrusted or broadly privileged users. Authentication is required according to the CVSS vector, reducing opportunistic exposure but not insider, compromised-account, or weak-access-control risk.

Exploitation context

The vulnerability is remotely reachable and a public exploit reference is listed. However, CISA KEV status is false in the provided bundle, and no cited source confirms active exploitation in the wild.

Researcher notes

Evidence is primarily from VulDB and CVE records. The source bundle states the vendor was contacted but did not respond. No official patch, workaround, or vendor advisory is identified in the provided sources, so remediation guidance should remain conservative.

Mitigation direction

  • Check AstrBotDevs or project channels for official remediation guidance or fixed versions.
  • Restrict dashboard and MCP test endpoint access to trusted administrators only.
  • Apply network egress controls from AstrBot servers to internal and sensitive services.
  • Disable or limit MCP test functionality if it is not operationally required.
  • Monitor for unusual outbound requests originating from AstrBot hosts.

Validation and detection

  • Inventory AstrBot deployments and confirm whether versions 4.25.0 through 4.25.2 are present.
  • Verify whether the dashboard and MCP test endpoint are exposed beyond trusted administrators.
  • Review access logs for MCP test endpoint activity by unexpected users.
  • Review outbound network logs from AstrBot hosts for unusual internal destination requests.
  • Track vendor advisories and re-test after any official update is applied.
