CVE-2026-39885: mcp-from-openapi is Vulnerable to SSRF via $ref Dereferencing in Untrusted OpenAPI Specifications

April 8, 2026 (updated April 9, 2026)

The mcp-from-openapi library uses @apidevtools/json-schema-ref-parser to dereference $ref pointers in OpenAPI specifications without configuring any URL restrictions or custom resolvers. A malicious OpenAPI specification containing $ref values pointing to internal network addresses, cloud metadata endpoints, or local files will cause the library to fetch those resources during the initialize() call. This enables Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) and local file read attacks when processing untrusted OpenAPI specifications.
