AI-suggested

Upgrade to @modelcontextprotocol/sdk version 1.32.0 or later and @modelcontextprotocol/server version 2.3.0 or later to obtain the fix. Additionally, operators must configure both a tool-input element bound to limit the number of array elements or object keys validated per request and set an appropriate request body size limit to prevent memory exhaustion. Simply upgrading without configuring these limits does not fully mitigate the vulnerability.

Description

CVE-2026-111768 is a high-severity vulnerability in the @modelcontextprotocol TypeScript SDK and server components. Versions from 1.3.0 up to but not including 1.32.0 of the SDK, and 2.0.0 up to but not including 2.3.0 of the server, do not enforce limits on the number of array elements or object keys validated in a single HTTP request. This can lead to JavaScript heap exhaustion and process termination when processing large arrays or objects within the default 4 MiB request size limit. The vulnerability is fixed in versions 1.32.0 of the SDK and 2.3.0 of the server. Operators must configure both input element bounds and request body size limits to fully mitigate the issue.
