CVE-2026-43992 — JunoClaw: MCP write tools exposed raw BIP-39 mnemonic as a tool-call parameter
JunoClaw is an agentic AI platform built on Juno Network. Prior to 0.x.y-security-1, every MCP write tool (send_tokens, execute_contract, instantiate_contract, upload_wasm, ibc_transfer, etc.) accepted 'mnemonic: string' as an explicit tool-call parameter. The BIP-39 seed was consequently embedded in the LLM tool-call JSON, exposing it to any transport, log, or telemetry surface in the path between the LLM provider and the MCP process. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.x.y-security-1.
Who exploits it and how urgent it is
A 0–100 score combining confirmed exploitation, ransomware and APT use, public exploits, EPSS and severity.
How the score was calculated
- EPSS 0.4% (30-day exploitation probability)+4
- Technical severity (critical)+10
- Automatable exploitation (SSVC)+3
The score orders the patch queue; it does not replace your asset context (internet exposure, criticality, compensating controls).
Triage
Is it exploited, how likely is exploitation, what does it touch, and how severe do the sources call it.
CISA SSVC assessment CISA
Three decision points CISA publishes for the CVEs it assesses (SSVC 2.0.3). A stakeholder decision, not a severity score.
Remediation
Fixes and mitigations documented by the sources — linked to the original advisory.
No fix documented by the sources we poll. That does not mean none exists: check the vendor advisory.
First 24 hours
Ordered from the record’s own fields — exposure first, because you cannot patch what you have not found. A rule-generated starting point.
- Identify exposed assets running the affected vendor/product/version combinations (Dragonmonk111 Junoclaw).
- The attack is network-based and needs no privileges: restrict exposure (ACLs, VPN, WAF) until patched.
- No fix documented in the sources: reduce exposure and monitor the vendor advisory.
- Search available logs for exploit probes matching the vulnerability class (info disclosure), errors and authentication anomalies.

Analysis and videos
CVE-2026-43992: JunoClaw MCP write tools: raw BIP-39 mnemonic exposed as tool-call parameter
JunoClaw, an agentic AI platform built on Juno Network, had MCP write tools that accepted a raw BIP-39 mnemonic as an explicit tool-call parameter. This placed the wallet seed inside LLM tool-call JSON, where it could reach transport, logging or telemetry surfaces. The record states the issue is fixed in 0.x.y-security-1, and the CVSS 3.1 base score reported by GitHub is 9.8 (critical).

What should defenders know first?
CVE-2026-43992 is "JunoClaw: MCP write tools exposed raw BIP-39 mnemonic as a tool-call parameter", rated Critical. It affects Junoclaw (Dragonmonk111); versions are in the scope table. It is not in CISA KEV, which does not rule out exploitation. CVSS 9.8 describes technical severity. EPSS 0.37% estimates the probability of exploitation in 30 days; neither replaces your asset context. First verify whether exposed or business-critical assets run the affected versions, apply vendor fixes or mitigations, and preserve logs for review.
