AI-suggested

Upgrade to MCP SDK version 1.30.0 or later (for 1.x) or 2.2.0 or later (for 2.x) and enable the 'validate_token_resource' setting in 'AuthSettings' with the appropriate 'resource_server_url'. Also modify 'verify_token()' to return the token's audience as 'AccessToken.resource'. If upgrading is not feasible, implement manual audience ('aud') verification in the 'TokenVerifier' to reject tokens not intended for your server. Note that simply upgrading without enabling the setting does not enforce the fix. The setting will default to enabled in version 3.0.

Description

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) Python SDK versions 1.10.0 through 1.29.1 and 2.0.0 through 2.1.1 have a vulnerability in server-side bearer-token authentication. The SDK does not verify that a token's audience matches the intended server, allowing tokens issued for other services by the same authorization server to be accepted. This can lead to unauthorized access if tokens for different services are accepted. Fixed in versions 1.30.0+ and 2.2.0+, but enabling the audience check requires configuration changes. If upgrading is not possible, manual audience verification is recommended.
