CVE-2026-33252
Public on
Last Modified:
Description
A flaw was found in the Go MCP SDK's Streamable HTTP transport, which uses Go's standard encoding/json package. In deployments without authorization, a remote attacker can exploit this Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability. By sending browser-generated cross-site POST requests to a local server without proper validation of the Origin header or Content-Type, an attacker can potentially trigger unauthorized tool execution.
Mitigation
To mitigate this vulnerability, ensure that deployments utilizing the Go MCP SDK are configured with proper authorization mechanisms. This prevents unauthorized cross-site requests from triggering tool execution. Additionally, restrict network access to the local server running the SDK to trusted sources only, using firewall rules to limit exposure.

Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authorities (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications ).
| CVSS v3 Score Breakdown | Red Hat | NVD |
|---|---|---|
| CVSS v3 Base Score | 7.1 | 6.5 |
| Attack Vector | Network | Network |
| Attack Complexity | Low | Low |
| Privileges Required | None | None |
| User Interaction | Required | Required |
| Scope | Unchanged | Unchanged |
| Confidentiality Impact | None | None |
| Integrity Impact | High | High |
| Availability Impact | Low | None |

My product is listed as "Under investigation" or "Affected", when will Red Hat release a fix for this vulnerability?
- "Under investigation" doesn't necessarily mean that the product is affected by this vulnerability. It only means that our Analysis Team is still working on determining whether the product is affected and how it is affected.
- "Affected" means that our Analysis Team has determined that this product is affected by this vulnerability and might release a fix to address this in the near future.
What can I do if my product is listed as "Will not fix"?
Available options depend mostly on the Impact of the vulnerability and the current Life Cycle phase of your product. Overall, you have the following options:
- Upgrade to a supported product version that includes a fix for this vulnerability (recommended).
- Apply a mitigation (if one exists).
- Open a This content is not included.support case to request a prioritization of releasing a fix for this vulnerability.
What can I do if my product is listed as "Fix deferred"?
Available options depend mostly on the Impact of the vulnerability and the current Life Cycle phase of your product. Overall, you have the following options:
- Apply a mitigation (if one exists).
- Open a This content is not included.support case to request a prioritization of releasing a fix for this vulnerability.
- Red Hat Engineering focuses on addressing high-priority issues based on their complexity or limited lifecycle support. Therefore, lower-priority issues will not receive immediate fixes.
What is a mitigation?
I have a Red Hat product but it is not in the above list, is it affected?
Why is my security scanner reporting my product as vulnerable to this vulnerability even though my product version is fixed or not affected?
My product is listed as "Out of Support Scope". What does this mean?
