Each rust dot is a disclosed event in this advisory's life: when it was published, when (if ever) a patch shipped and where things stand today (the dashed line). Ghosted dots are events that haven't happened yet.

Summary

Versions 2026.2.10–2026.2.12 introduced the WebSocket origin check from CVE-2026-25253 but did not protect against HTTP/1.0 downgrade. An attacker who could control DNS or perform an HTTP-level downgrade could bypass the origin check. Patched in 2026.2.13.

What to do

  • If you run an affected version: upgrade to 2026.2.13 immediately. Do not delay this for convenience reasons.
  • Rotate any credentials that may have been exposed via the affected component.
  • Audit your logs for indicators of exploitation — unexpected outbound traffic, anomalous tool calls, unfamiliar authenticated sessions.
  • If exploitation is confirmed, treat the host as compromised: rebuild from a clean image, rotate every secret on the host, audit lateral movement.
