CVE-2026-97228 Rapid7 CVE debrief
CVE-2026-97228 is a GraphQL query injection issue in Rapid7 Bulk Export MCP versions 0.2.5 through 0.6.1. The vulnerability allows an attacker to inject malicious GraphQL queries by crafting a specific `export_id` value. However, the issue does not grant an existing actor any access they do not already have, as every injected query executes within the operator's own already-authenticated API scope.
