Summary

`mcp-handler` versions prior to 1.1.0 accepted `@modelcontextprotocol/sdk` < 1.26.0 as a peer dependency. That SDK version contains a vulnerability [[CVE-2026-25536](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-25536)] that causes concurrent requests from different clients to share server-side state including authentication context and tool execution results when a `StreamableHTTPServerTransport` instance is reused across requests. **Note:** This is _not_ a vulnerability in `mcp-handler` itself. The root cause is in the peer dependency `@modelcontextprotocol/sdk`. ### Impact A low-privileged attacker making concurrent requests to an `mcp-handler` endpoint can read another client's session data, including authentication information and tool execution state. This is a confidentiality breach with potential for limited integrity impact. **Root Cause:** [CVE-2026-25536](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-25536) in `@modelcontextprotocol/sdk` < 1.26.0. The SDK did not prevent reuse of stateless transports across client connections. ### Patches Upgrade to `[email protected]`. This release raises the minimum peer dependency to `@modelcontextprotocol/sdk@>=1.26.0`, which contains the fix for CVE-2026-25536. ### Workarounds - Upgrade `@modelcontextprotocol/sdk` to `>=1.26.0` (note: the SDK will throw on transport reuse, which will break `mcp-handler` < 1.1.0 which effectively forces the upgrade) - Alternatively, manually create fresh `McpServer` and transport instances per request in your handler code
