Sensitive data disclosure via unvalidated URL fetches
Published May 29, 2025 · Updated Aug 5, 2026
SSRF in mcp-markdownify-server before 1.0.0 allows remote attackers to read sensitive data through crafted prompts. Markdownify.get passes tool-supplied URLs to webpage, Bing, and YouTube conversion requests without validating the scheme or rejecting private destinations. An MCP host must access attacker-controlled prompt content and invoke the exposed conversion tools; successful requests disclose reachable responses.
