Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

The Go module github.com/modelcontextprotocol/registry is affected in versions before 1.7.9. When the upstream OCI registry returns HTTP 429 (rate limiting) during package validation, the OCI ownership check is skipped and the publish is accepted. An attacker with a free GitHub account could use this to bind a server record under their own namespace to a public OCI image they do not control. Upgrade to version 1.7.9 or later. The source gives few details on workarounds.
