Description
cc-connect through 1.5.0 contains a missing authentication vulnerability in the MAX platform adapter webhook mode in platform/max/max.go that accepts unauthenticated updates when no webhook_secret is configured. Remote attackers reaching the webhook listener on port 8080 can forge updates with an allowed or admin user_id to run privileged commands like /shell on the host.
