This was verified end-to-end for session establishment, tool enumeration, and execution of the local `deepseek_sessions` tool.\n\n`deepseek_chat` is exposed through the same unauthenticated MCP session, and its handler routes requests through the server-side DeepSeek client. That means a deployment using a valid server-side `DEEPSEEK_API_KEY` places billable DeepSeek operations behind an unauthenticated endpoint. However, this report's reproduced PoC used a dummy API key and did not directly validate successful upstream DeepSeek billing or quota consumption.\n\n## Remediation\nRequire authentication in self-hosted HTTP mode before MCP session creation. At minimum, pass an `authProvider` to `createMcpExpressApp` at `transport-http.ts:17` or place equivalent authentication middleware / a reverse proxy in front of `/mcp` so unauthenticated clients never reach the initialize branch:\n\n```typescript\nconst app = createMcpExpressApp({\n  host: '0.0.0.0',\n  authProvider,\n});\n```\n\nFor deployments that only need local access, bind to `127.0.0.1` instead of `0.0.0.0` in both `createMcpExpressApp` and `app.listen` (`transport-http.ts:17` and `:107`) as a defence-in-depth measure. Upstream `docker-compose.yml` currently publishes `3000:3000`; changing that to `127.0.0.1:3000:3000` would reduce inadvertent exposure on multi-user or server hosts.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-08-25T18:38:30+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-08-26T01:18:34.6969624+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"@arikusi/deepseek-mcp-server","ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"kind":"introduced","version":"1.4.2"},{"kind":"fixed","version":"1.8.0"}]}],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":null}],"metrics":[{"system":"CVSS_V3","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L","score":null,"severity":null},{"system":"Publisher rating","vector":null,"score":null,"severity":"MODERATE"}],"references":["https://github.com/arikusi/deepseek-mcp-server/security/advisories/GHSA-72f3-6w86-7rv3","https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-55605","https://github.com/arikusi/deepseek-mcp-server/pull/4","https://github.com/arikusi/deepseek-mcp-server/commit/dab07ed93ddde0ab219d4cb7066785847db53a32","https://github.com/arikusi/deepseek-mcp-server","https://github.com/arikusi/deepseek-mcp-server/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md#180---2026-06-14","https://github.com/arikusi/deepseek-mcp-server/releases/tag/v1.8.0"],"sourceUrl":"https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-72f3-6w86-7rv3","license":"GitHub Advisory Database · CC-BY-4.0","key":"osv:GHSA-72f3-6w86-7rv3","identifiers":["GHSA-72f3-6w86-7rv3","CVE-2026-55605"]},"retained":false,"historicalAffected":[]}],"coverage":[{"source":"cisa-kev:global","scope":"Complete CISA KEV catalog; all vendors.
