CVE-2026-9739: MCP Toolbox for Databases vulnerable to DNS rebinding attacks

May 28, 2026 (updated July 1, 2026)

Vulnerable to DNS rebinding attacks when using SSE (http://b/499408790). During the beta phase, we implemented allowed-origins and allowed-hosts flags to align with MCP security guidelines. However, the hardcoded Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * header in the SSE initialization handler was inadvertently retained. This vulnerability specifically impacts users connecting via Toolbox using SSE under specification v2024-11-05.
