CVE-2026-59950 PUBLISHED

MCP Python SDK: WebSocket server transport does not support Host/Origin validation

Assigner: GitHub_M
Reserved: 07.07.2026 Published: 15.07.2026 Updated: 15.07.2026

The MCP Python SDK, called mcp on PyPI, is a Python implementation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Prior to 1.28.1, the deprecated mcp.server.websocket.websocket_server transport accepted WebSocket handshakes without applying Host or Origin header validation, leaving no SDK-level way to restrict which origins could connect to applications that exposed that transport. This issue is fixed in version 1.28.1.
