Gitlawb Zero v0.4.0 closes security hole in MCP server overrides

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Gitlawb Zero v0.4.0, released July 17, 2026, addresses a critical security vulnerability in its Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. Previously, a cloned repository's configuration could override a user's explicit disabling of an MCP server, potentially re-enabling access to sensitive systems like file systems or network resources. This update enforces that user-level disables are authoritative, preventing project configurations from re-enabling disabled MCP servers and strengthening the security boundary for coding agents. AI

IMPACT Enhances security for coding agents by ensuring user-defined access controls are respected.
