CVE-2026-42559: rmcp Streamable HTTP server transport has a DNS rebinding vulnerability
(updated )
Prior to version 1.4.0, the rmcp crate’s Streamable HTTP server transport (crates/rmcp/src/transport/streamable_http_server/) did not validate the incoming Host header. This allowed a malicious public website, via a DNS rebinding attack, to send authenticated requests to an MCP server running on the victim’s loopback or private-network interface — violating the MCP specification’s transport security guidance.
