Description

DeepSeek Harness before 0.1.2-alpha.1 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability in its local HTTP control-plane API that allows attackers to gain full agent control by supplying a spoofed Host header, as the server validates only the client-supplied Host header value rather than the actual TCP connection origin.

Recommendation

Update the @deepseek-ai/dsh-client-connection package to the latest compatible version. Followings are version details:

  • Affected version(s): < 0.1.2-alpha.1
  • Patched version(s): 0.1.2-alpha.1
