CVE-2026-119287: Zuke command-form registry descriptor authorization bypass

CVE-2026-119287 · Severity: high · CVSS 8 · Published 2026-10-30

Zuke is a build automation system for Deno. When configured with MCP registry mode and --allow-run, a registry writable by another party can execute arbitrary commands with the operator's environment and workspace access, bypassing the host authorization policy that applies to remote module descriptors.

Technical details

The @zuke/core MCP registry mode fails to apply ZUKE_REGISTRY_LAUNCH_HOSTS authorization to command-form registry descriptors before version 1.51.0, allowing the registry writer to choose both the program and its arguments. An attacker with write access to a shared registry can craft a descriptor that runs any command when a run-capable caller invokes the tool, since the descriptor itself supplies the program name and arguments that bypass the --allow-run and --protect glob restrictions.
