CVE-2026-53957: Contentful MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol server for the Contentful Management API.

Contentful MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol server for the Contentful Management API.

Contentful MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol server for the Contentful Management API. Prior to @contentful/mcp-server 1.7.19 and @contentful/mcp-tools 0.4.5, export_space and import_space in packages/mcp-tools/src/tools/jobs/space-to-space-migration/exportSpace.ts and packages/mcp-tools/src/tools/jobs/space-to-space-migration/importSpace.ts expose host, proxy, rawProxy, and insecure network options to LLM-controlled tool arguments and combine those options with the server's CONTENTFUL_MANAGEMENT_TOKEN. After space_to_space_migration_handler enables the migration tools, a direct MCP call or prompt injection through attacker-controlled Contentful content can redirect Contentful Management API requests and their Authorization header to an attacker-controlled host or proxy. The regular tools that use createToolClient are unaffected because those tools pin the host from server configuration. Exposure of the personal access token permits persistent out-of-band access to every Contentful space within the token's scope. This issue is fixed in @contentful/mcp-server 1.7.19 and @contentful/mcp-tools 0.4.5.

What it means for a small business

If your business uses contentful-mcp-server, install the vendor's update. If you're not sure whether you use it, ask whoever manages your computers.

How likely is an attack? The Exploit Prediction Scoring System, run by FIRST (the global association of security response teams), puts the odds of this one being exploited in the next 30 days at 0.41%, higher than 35% of CVEs. That’s low, but low isn’t zero, and the odds jump the day someone publishes an exploit. Scored October 29, 2026, updated daily.

Check your own setup

Website check: reads what your site runs from the outside (WordPress version, plugins it can see, old server software) and matches it against this database.
Server check: what your web server says about itself, and whether that version has known flaws.
