HIGHPre-NVD 8.98.9—
EchelonGraph scoreMEDIUM confidence

This high-severity CVE scores 8.9 under a secondary CVSS source (NVD's own analysis pending). EPSS exploit probability: 0.4%, top 68% of all CVEs by exploit prediction. GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).

Windows-MCP is an open-source project that integrates AI agents with Windows. In versions prior to 0.7.5, certain HTTP modes exposed the MCP control plane without authentication while enabling wildcard CORS (allow_origins=*, allow_methods=*, allow_headers=*). Because the same server also exposed a PowerShell tool that executes caller-controlled commands as the Windows user running Windows-MCP, attackers could reach the control plane from arbitrary origins or non-browser clients and achieve arbitrary PowerShell execution. This issue was fixed in version 0.7.5.
