DeepSeek Harness contains an authentication bypass vulnerability in local HTTP control-plane API
CVE-2026-82533 · GHSA-8m2g-8cgm-3vcp
- Affected
- npm @deepseek-ai/dsh-client-connection < 0.1.2-alpha.1
- Fixed in
- 0.1.2-alpha.1· Vendor fix available
- Issue
- DeepSeek Harness before 0.1.2-alpha.1 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability in its local HTTP control-plane API that allows attackers to gain full agent control by supplying a spoofed Host header, as the server validates only the client-supplied Host header value rather than the actual TCP connection origin. Attackers can exploit this flaw to invoke privileged commands such as commands/execute with danger-full-access permissions, escalate session approval policies to unconfined execution, and retrieve all stored conversations without any credential or API key.
Recommended action: Upgrade to 0.1.2-alpha.1 (pre-release) or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
