Cross-site tool execution via unvalidated POST requests
Published Mar 23, 2026 · Updated Mar 23, 2026
CSRF in Model Context Protocol Go SDK before 1.4.1 allows remote attackers to invoke MCP tools through cross-site POST requests. The StreamableHTTPHandler passes text/plain POST bodies into MCP message handling without checking Origin or requiring application/json. Exploitation requires a victim's browser to visit an attacker-controlled site and an HTTP server lacking authorization; exposed tools can then run with the server's privileges.
