Technical details

The SendEmailTool MCP endpoint checks for the ability 'mcp:email.send' and permission 'email_template.view', but does not properly enforce that only users with send authorization can actually transmit emails. An authenticated user holding the read-only email_template.view permission can mint an MCP token and invoke the send-email tool with arbitrary recipient, subject, and HTML body parameters. The vulnerability exists in versions 1.4.0 through 1.4.8 and is fixed in 1.4.9.
