Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
FastMCP's OpenAPI Provider, in the fastmcp PyPI package before version 3.2.0, does not URL-encode path parameter values when building backend request URLs, so path traversal sequences can escape the intended API prefix. An attacker who can send requests through an MCP client can reach arbitrary backend endpoints, and those requests carry the provider's configured authorization headers, which the source describes as authenticated SSRF. The fix is to upgrade to fastmcp 3.2.0 or later, and the source also recommends URL-encoding path parameter values before substitution.
