CVE
CVE-2026-111769
Affected
@modelcontextprotocol/sdk all versions through 1.31.0; @modelcontextprotocol/client 2.0.0 through 2.2.0
Fixed in
1.32.0 for @modelcontextprotocol/sdk; 2.3.0 for @modelcontextprotocol/client

Last verified against sources: October 26, 2026

Am I affected?

MCP TypeScript client SDK: affected @modelcontextprotocol/sdk all versions through 1.31.0; @modelcontextprotocol/client 2.0.0 through 2.2.0. Fixed in 1.32.0 for @modelcontextprotocol/sdk; 2.3.0 for @modelcontextprotocol/client.

  • Check your version: run npm ls @modelcontextprotocol/sdk. Versions < 1.32.0 of @modelcontextprotocol/sdk are affected. [1]
  • Check your version: run npm ls @modelcontextprotocol/client. Versions >= 2.0.0, < 2.3.0 of @modelcontextprotocol/client are affected. [1]

What to do now

  1. Upgrade to the fixed version: run npm install @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.32.0 (first patched version 1.32.0). [1]
  2. Upgrade to the fixed version: run npm install @modelcontextprotocol/client@2.3.0 (first patched version 2.3.0). [1]
  3. Upgrade to @modelcontextprotocol/sdk 1.32.0 or later, or @modelcontextprotocol/client 2.3.0 or later. [1]
  4. If a redirect may have reached a host you do not control, rotate the API keys and client_secret your application held and revoke its tokens. [1]
  5. If you cannot upgrade yet, pass a fetch that refuses redirects, for example (url, init) => fetch(url, { ...init, redirect: 'error' }). [1]
  6. If your MCP server or authorization server redirects to another origin on purpose, configure the final URL instead. [1]

General practice, not from the source: if the affected software could read tokens or credentials, rotate them after upgrading; pin versions and review changes before updating tools your agents run.

Discuss this incident

What happened

  • The SDK's HTTP client transports and OAuth requests followed redirects to any origin. [1]
  • If an MCP server or authorization server redirected a request to another origin, that origin received custom request headers and the mcp-session-id header. [1]
  • On a 307 or 308 redirect, that origin also received the request body, including OAuth token requests with their refresh_token and client_secret. [1]
  • Applications using StreamableHTTPClientTransport, SSEClientTransport, or the SDK's OAuth client functions such as auth() are affected; stdio clients are not. [1]

Impact

  • On current runtimes, fetch already drops the Authorization header across origins. [1]

What was done

  • The maintainers released fixed versions: @modelcontextprotocol/sdk 1.32.0 and @modelcontextprotocol/client 2.3.0. [1]
  • Redirects are now followed only within the same origin, and not at all in browsers. [1]
