CVE-2026-59723 is a high-severity cross-origin WebSocket hijacking vulnerability in Cline prior to version 3.0.30. The issue affects the Cline Hub dashboard server launched by the cline dashboard command. The /browser WebSocket endpoint accepts connections without validating the Origin header, and when ROOM_SECRET is unset for local 127.0.0.1 binds, isAuthorizedBrowserRequest() can permit attacker-controlled browser requests. Under these conditions, a malicious website visited by a user can establish a WebSocket connection to the local dashboard service and send desktopCommand frames. This can be used to read workspace state, modify MCP settings, modify provider settings, and trigger command execution when a provider or model is configured. The vulnerability is fixed in Cline version 3.0.30.

If you can’t patch tonight, do this now.
ROOM_SECRET is configured, especially in any non-local or less-trusted deployment scenario. Restrict access to the dashboard service to trusted local contexts only, minimize or disable provider/model configurations where feasible, and avoid visiting untrusted websites while the vulnerable dashboard is running. Additional defensive hardening includes enforcing strict Origin validation for WebSocket connections and limiting browser access to the local service.Patch, then assume compromise.
/browser WebSocket handling. If operationally relevant, review the referenced fix associated with commit d09270940f5746f288cfc4a5039b46a2f4d5d01e and release cli-v3.0.30. After upgrading, verify that the dashboard server properly enforces WebSocket origin validation and that dashboard access controls are functioning as intended.No public exploits tracked yet.
