SCA: security update for arcade-mcp-server (GHSA-g2jx-37x6-6438)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 436183

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- Arcade MCP allows you to to create, deploy, and share MCP Servers. Prior to 1.5.4, the arcade-mcp HTTP
server uses a hardcoded default worker secret ("dev") that is never validated or overridden during normal
server startup. As a result, any unauthenticated attacker who knows this default key can forge valid JWTs
and fully bypass the FastAPI authentication layer. This grants remote access to all worker
endpoints—including tool enumeration and tool invocation—without credentials. This vulnerability is fixed
in 1.5.4. (CVE-2025-66454)
