Description
Impact
The Streamable HTTP transport was constructed without enableDnsRebindingProtection/allowedHosts/allowedOrigins and performed no Origin-header validation. With the documented auth.mode: "none" loopback default, a **drive-by web page could POST http://127.0.0.1/mcp** and receive caller http-local with scopes ["*"] — full vault read/write — via DNS rebinding / a forged Origin.
Patches
Fixed in 1.3.1. Upgrade to >= 1.3.1. The transport now enables DNS-rebinding protection and allowed hosts/origins and returns HTTP 403 on an invalid Origin (per MCP 2025-11-25).
Workarounds
Do not expose the HTTP transport with auth.mode: "none"; require JWT auth, or bind to a non-loopback interface behind a proxy that validates Origin.
