Technical Analysis

CVE-2025-66416 affects MCP SDK versions prior to 1.23. While FastMCP does not directly use the vulnerable MCP SDK components, versions of FastMCP before 2.14.0 permitted the use of MCP SDK versions older than 1.23, thus potentially exposing users to the vulnerability. The issue is mitigated by upgrading FastMCP to version 2.14.0 or later, which requires MCP SDK 1.23 or newer.

Potential Impact

Users running FastMCP versions before 2.14.0 who use MCP SDK versions older than 1.23 may be exposed to the vulnerability identified as CVE-2025-66416. FastMCP itself is not directly vulnerable, but the dependency on older MCP SDK versions introduces risk.

Mitigation Recommendations

Upgrade FastMCP to version 2.14.0 or later, which enforces usage of MCP SDK version 1.23 or newer, thereby mitigating the vulnerability. Since a patch is available and recommended, users should apply this upgrade promptly.
