AI-suggested
Upgrade mark3labs mcp-go to version 1.2.1 or later, where this origin validation vulnerability is fixed. No other mitigation is indicated by the vendor advisory.
Description
Mark3labs mcp-go versions before 1.2.1 have an origin validation vulnerability in the OAuthHandler.fetchServerMetadata function. This flaw allows malicious MCP servers to declare arbitrary resources in well-known metadata, causing the authorization server to issue tokens for unintended resources. Attackers can exploit this by declaring a different MCP server as the RFC 8707 resource indicator and replaying the obtained tokens against that resource. The issue is fixed in version 1.2.1.
