Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Model Context Protocol (MCP) Python SDK versions before 1.23.0 do not enable DNS rebinding protection by default for HTTP-based servers. A malicious website could use DNS rebinding to send requests to an unauthenticated FastMCP server running on localhost with streamable HTTP or SSE transport, invoking its tools or accessing its resources as the user. Upgrade the mcp package to version 1.23.0 or later; servers using custom low-level configurations should explicitly set TransportSecuritySettings.
