Unauthenticated database disclosure via unprotected SSE endpoint
Published Sep 10, 2025 · Updated Sep 10, 2025
Missing authentication in MariaDB MCP 0.1.0 allows remote attackers to read database information through the SSE service. The SSE transport in server.py accepts unauthenticated network connections and exposes MCP tools that query the configured database. Exploitation requires SSE mode to be reachable beyond localhost; no account or user interaction is required, and the reported consequence is read-only disclosure.
