MCP server takeover via exposed JavaScript bridge
Published Feb 9, 2026 · Updated Feb 9, 2026
Improper isolation in Pydantic mcp-run-python 0.0.22 and earlier allows remote attackers to take over the MCP server via submitted Python code. The runPython and runPythonAsync functions expose Pyodide's JavaScript bridge to untrusted code, which can overwrite shared runtime objects. The server must execute attacker-influenced code, directly or through an AI model; exploitation can shadow MCP tools and alter later server behavior.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
