MCP-Framework: Unbounded memory allocation in readRequestBody allows denial of service via HTTP transport

Published Apr 16, 2026 · Updated Apr 17, 2026 · Assigned by GitHub_M

Description

mcp-framework is a framework for building Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. In versions 0.2.21 and below, the readRequestBody() function in the HTTP transport concatenates request body chunks into a string with no size limit. Although a maxMessageSize configuration value exists, it is never enforced in readRequestBody(). A remote unauthenticated attacker can crash any mcp-framework HTTP server by sending a single large POST request to /mcp, causing memory exhaustion and denial of service. This issue has been fixed in version 0.2.22.
