Attacker needs their own valid bearer token (PR:L) plus knowledge of a victim's transient, non-controllable session ID (AC:H) over the network (AV:N); injecting into another session breaches confidentiality and integrity (C:H/I:H) with limited availability impact (A:L).

DescriptionCVE.org

The MCP Python SDK, called mcp on PyPI, is a Python implementation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Prior to 1.27.2, the SSE and stateful Streamable HTTP transports mcp.server.sse.SseServerTransport and mcp.server.streamable_http_manager.StreamableHTTPSessionManager route requests to existing sessions using only the session_id query parameter or Mcp-Session-Id header without verifying the authenticated principal that created the session, allowing a different bearer-token-authenticated client with a known session ID to inject JSON-RPC messages into that session. This issue is fixed in version 1.27.2.

AnalysisAI

Cross-session message injection in the MCP Python SDK (the 'mcp' package on PyPI) prior to 1.27.2 allows an authenticated client holding a valid bearer token to hijack another principal's session on the SSE and stateful Streamable HTTP transports. Because SseServerTransport and StreamableHTTPSessionManager route inbound requests using only the session_id query parameter or Mcp-Session-Id header - never checking that the caller is the same authenticated principal who created the session - any bearer-token-authenticated client who learns a victim's session ID can inject arbitrary JSON-RPC messages into that session. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires (1) the target server to use the MCP Python SDK's stateful SSE transport (SseServerTransport) or stateful Streamable HTTP transport (StreamableHTTPSessionManager) - not stateless mode; (2) the server to authenticate clients with bearer tokens and serve more than one distinct principal over the same endpoint; (3) the attacker to hold their own valid bearer token accepted by that server (PR:L - authenticated); and (4) the attacker to know a victim's active session_id query-parameter value or Mcp-Session-Id header value, which is not attacker-controlled and is transient (this is the AC:H limiting factor). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The supplied CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:L, base 7.1, High) is internally consistent with the description and with my independent assessment. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario In a shared MCP server that authenticates multiple users by bearer token, a low-privileged tenant obtains a valid token of their own and learns another user's active session ID (for example from a proxy log, referrer leak, or shared infrastructure). Using their own valid token but supplying the victim's session_id / Mcp-Session-Id, they send crafted JSON-RPC messages that the server processes within the victim's session context. …
Remediation Vendor-released patch: 1.27.2. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
