Mitigation Strategies

To mitigate this vulnerability, you should upgrade the MCP Ruby SDK to version 0.9.2 or later, which contains the patch for the session hijacking issue.

Executive Summary

The vulnerability exists in the MCP Ruby SDK's streamable_http_transport.rb implementation prior to version 0.9.2. It is a session hijacking vulnerability where an attacker who obtains a valid session ID can completely hijack the victim's Server-Sent Events (SSE) stream.

By hijacking the SSE stream, the attacker can intercept all real-time data intended for the victim.

This vulnerability was fixed in version 0.9.2 of the MCP Ruby SDK.

Impact Analysis

If exploited, this vulnerability allows an attacker to hijack a user's session and intercept all real-time data sent over the Server-Sent Events stream.

This can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive information transmitted in real-time, potentially compromising confidentiality and privacy.
