SSRF and credential leak via unvalidated Location header in github.com/mark3labs/mcp-go

Published Nov 5, 2026 · Updated Nov 5, 2026 · Assigned by GO

Description

In github.com/mark3labs/mcp-go/client/transport, NewStreamableHTTP constructs an http.Client with a nil CheckRedirect policy when no custom WithHTTPBasicClient is supplied, and attaches static custom headers and OAuth bearer tokens inside a RoundTripper layer. If an MCP server responds with a 3xx redirect, the client follows the Location header to arbitrary hosts and schemes and attaches configured WithHeaders and OAuth Authorization headers to the redirected request, enabling server-side request forgery (SSRF) and credential disclosure.
