DeepSeek MCP Server is an MCP server for DeepSeek V4. Starting in version 1.4.2 and prior to version 1.8.0, the self-hosted HTTP transport of @arikusi/deepseek-mcp-server exposes POST /mcp without any authentication: createMcpExpressApp is called without an authProvider and no middleware guards the route, so any network-reachable client can issue an unauthenticated initialize request and obtain a valid MCP session identifier. In reproduced testing against commit 5e1302171e99, an unauthenticated client was able to initialize a session, enumerate tools, and invoke the local deepseek_sessions tool with no credentials. The same unauthenticated session also exposes deepseek_chat, whose handler uses the server-side DEEPSEEK_API_KEY when self-hosted deployments configure one. This issue applies to self-hosted HTTP mode, not the separately documented hosted BYOK endpoint in README.md, which expects an Authorization: Bearer ... header. Upstream self-hosted container assets enable HTTP mode by default (Dockerfile) and publish port 3000 (docker-compose.yml). Version 1.8.0 contains a patch for this issue.
CVE-2026-55605
“—” beside the score: it is equal to the CVSS score beside it.
This medium-severity CVE scores 5.3 under a secondary CVSS source (NVD's own analysis pending). EPSS exploit probability: 0.6% (47th percentile of EPSS-scored CVEs). No GitHub Security Advisory CVSS is on record for this CVE.

Exploitation public PoC (CISA Vulnrichment) · Automatable yes (CISA Vulnrichment) · Technical impact partial (CISA Vulnrichment). All three are CISA's SSVC values (Vulnrichment). EchelonGraph applied CISA's decision table to them; CISA publishes SSVC inputs and the table, not a decision for each CVE. Mission impact is CISA's Mission & Well-being decision point, and only you can judge it. CISA's table makes it high when Mission Prevalence is Essential — the vulnerable component "directly provides capabilities that constitute at least one MEF for at least one entity" (MEF: mission essential function) — or when Public Well-Being Impact is Irreversible: "multiple fatalities are likely", the cyber-physical system "is likely lost or destroyed", "extreme or serious externalities" are imposed on other parties, or social systems such as elections or the financial grid "are destabilized and potentially collapse".

Data Freshness Timeline
(refreshed 11× in last 7d / 34× in last 30d)
Each row is a time one of our pipelines fetched, updated or re-scored this CVE. For example, "NVD update" means NVD published or revised its analysis for this CVE; "MITRE cvelistV5" means we ingested or refreshed it from the CNA feed. An arrow marks a change the record states ("CVSS v3 → 9.1"); EPSS and GHSA rows show the values recorded at that time, not what changed (EPSS values are rounded; hover one for the exact figures). Most recent first.
Showing the most recent 100 of 137 refreshes on record for this CVE.
A repeat, a row identical to one the same pipeline wrote less than 10 seconds earlier, is not a separate refresh and is not counted. None are among the latest 100 rows. The 37 oldest rows on record are not shown and were not checked, so the counts can still include repeats.
