IBM ContextForge MCP Gateway is affected by a regular expression denial of service

Published Nov 13, 2026 · Assigned by ibm

Description

IBM ContextForge MCP Gateway 1.0.0 through 1.0.11 is potentially vulnerable to denial of service due to uncontrolled regular expression complexity (CWE-400 / ReDoS). An authenticated user with tool-registration privileges can embed catastrophically backtracking regex patterns in a tool's JSON Schema `pattern` field; when ContextForge validates arguments against that schema, the validation call may consume unbounded CPU, potentially degrading gateway availability.
