Tool invocation via unvalidated rebinding Host headers
Published Apr 2, 2026 · Updated Apr 2, 2026
DNS rebinding in the Model Context Protocol Go SDK before 1.4.0 allows remote attackers to invoke tools through local HTTP servers. StreamableHTTPHandler and SSEHandler accepted requests arriving over loopback without verifying that the Host header also named a loopback address. Exploitation requires an unauthenticated localhost deployment and a user to visit attacker-controlled web content; stdio transport is unaffected, and exposed tools or resources determine the resulting access.

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.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
