CyberRota Analysis

AI-Generated

The HTTP handler component of Google mcp-toolbox versions up to 1.4.0 is vulnerable to a denial of service (DoS) attack due to unrestricted resource allocation, allowing unauthenticated attackers to exploit this by sending a single large HTTP request. This can lead to excessive memory consumption, ultimately causing the application to crash from an Out-Of-Memory (OOM) error. Organizations using affected versions should prioritize remediation to prevent potential service disruptions.

Original NVD Description

An allocation of resources without limits vulnerability in the HTTP handler component of Google mcp-toolbox versions up to and including 1.4.0 allows an unauthenticated attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS). The /mcp endpoint handler reads incoming payloads directly into system memory using an unrestricted buffer loop (io.ReadAll) without applying defensive constraints such as http.MaxBytesReader or pre-read Content-Length enforcement. By submitting a single, massive HTTP request body, an attacker can linearly consume available host memory until the runtime process is terminated by an Out-Of-Memory (OOM) error.
