description

Stateful Streamable HTTP servers in affected mcp releases retain session state without effective expiry or a session-count bound. A client able to reach the endpoint can cause unbounded memory growth by opening sessions; authentication does not prevent this for authenticated clients with access.

mitigation

Upgrade mcp to 1.30.0 or later on the 1.x line, or 2.2.0 or later on the 2.x line. If upgrading is not immediately possible, use stateless_http=True where session state is unnecessary, or restrict endpoint access.

fixed in 1.30.0, 2.2.0
