Description
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to software does not enable DNS rebinding protection by default for HTTP-based servers. A remote attacker can trick the victim into visiting a malicious website and to bypass same-origin policy restrictions by exploiting DNS rebinding and initiate requests to the local MCP server.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability requires that an HTTP-based MCP server is running on the localhost without authentication using FastMCP with streamable HTTP or SSE transport, and has not configured TransportSecuritySettings.
