CVE-2026-15829 Google CVE debrief

Who should care

Users of googleapis/mcp-toolbox, particularly those who utilize the prebuilt BigQuery forecasting tool, should be aware of this vulnerability and take steps to mitigate it. This includes operators managing BigQuery datasets, platform administrators responsible for security configurations, vulnerability management teams assessing risk, and security teams monitoring for potential exploitation.

Technical summary

The prebuilt BigQuery forecasting tool (bigquery-forecast) of googleapis/mcp-toolbox is vulnerable to SQL injection (CWE-89) and security boundary bypass (CWE-863). The tool accepts client-controlled parameters (data_col, timestamp_col, and id_cols) as plain strings and interpolates them unescaped via fmt.Sprintf directly into a generated AI.FORECAST table-valued SELECT statement. While MCP Toolbox utilizes an allowedDatasets mechanism to restrict queries, this defense only validates the history_data parameter; the final assembled query is executed without re-validation. An attacker can break out of the string literal fields (such as timestamp_col) to inject a valid multi-statement or cross-dataset query block.

Defensive priority

High

Recommended defensive actions

• Review and update the prebuilt BigQuery forecasting tool to properly validate and sanitize client-controlled parameters.
• Implement additional security measures to restrict query execution and prevent unauthorized access to BigQuery tables.
• Monitor for suspicious activity and update the tool with the latest security patches.
• Perform a thorough review of the current BigQuery forecasting tool deployment to identify potential exposure.
• Inventory assets that utilize the prebuilt BigQuery forecasting tool and prioritize remediation efforts.
• Establish a rollback plan in case of issues with applying security patches.
• Track the status of security patches and updates for the BigQuery forecasting tool.
