Windows-MCP unauthenticated HTTP control plane allowed arbitrary PowerShell execution
Versions of the open-source Windows-MCP server before 0.7.5 exposed the MCP control plane over HTTP without authentication and with wildcard CORS, allowing attackers from arbitrary origins or non-browser clients to invoke a PowerShell tool and run commands as the user running Windows-MCP. The issue was fixed in version 0.7.5.
