Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Versions of the Go github.com/modelcontextprotocol/go-sdk package before 1.4.0 do not enable DNS rebinding protection by default for HTTP-based servers. An attacker who lures a user to a malicious website could use DNS rebinding to send requests to an MCP server running on localhost without authentication, invoking its tools or accessing its resources. Upgrade to version 1.4.0, which enables this protection by default for servers bound to localhost. Stdio-transport servers are not affected.
