GHSA-f9ff-5x35-7gfw: Grackle: Fail-open authorization in the MCP tool layer lets scoped agents perform cross-task and cross-session mutations (IDOR)

July 2, 2026

Authorization for scoped (agent) MCP callers is enforced inline, per tool, and is applied inconsistently — several mutating tools silently omit the ancestry/workspace check that their siblings perform. Because the MCP server authenticates all outbound gRPC with the full server API key and the backend gRPC handlers perform no caller-based authorization, the MCP tool layer is the sole authorization boundary. A malicious or prompt-injected scoped agent can therefore perform cross-task and cross-session operations it should not be allowed to (an IDOR / privilege-boundary bypass).

This advisory bundles the audit’s Systemic Pattern A findings: F2, F6, F7, F12 (and the duplicate F19).
