Overview

network-ai is an AI agent orchestration framework for TypeScript/Node.js - 29 adapters (LangChain, AutoGen, CrewAI, OpenAI Assistants, LlamaIndex, Semantic Kernel, Haystack, DSPy, Agno, MCP, OpenClaw, A2A, Codex, MiniMax, NemoClaw, APS, Copilot, LangGraph, Anthropic Compu

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Missing Authentication for Critical Function due to the isAuthorized process allowing access when the secret is empty. An attacker can gain unauthorized access to all available MCP tools by sending requests without credentials to the server when it is configured with the default empty secret. This is only exploitable if the server is bound to a non-loopback address or is accessible via SSRF, as browser-based attacks are mitigated by CORS restrictions.
