Description
Impact
When ran in sse or streaming mode (--transport), the Docker MCP Gateway is vulnerable to a DNS rebinding attack.
Vulnerability allows for Browser-Based exploitation of any MCP servers that are executing within the Docker MCP Gateway. Any tools or other features exposed by MCP servers can be manipulated by an attacker who is able to get a victim to visit a malicious website, or if a victim is served a malicious advertisement.
The MCP Gateway is not prone to this attack when started in its default stdio mode, which does not listen on any network ports.
Patches
Patch available in version v0.28.0
Workarounds
Do not start the MCP gateway in sse or streaming mode (use default stdio)

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for github.com/docker/mcp-gateway, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update github.com/docker/mcp-gateway to 0.28.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-46gc-mwh4-cc5r is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like GHSA-46gc-mwh4-cc5r can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.
Tailored to GHSA-46gc-mwh4-cc5r. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is GHSA-46gc-mwh4-cc5r in your dependencies?
O3 Security finds GHSA-46gc-mwh4-cc5r across Go dependencies, including transitive ones, and its impact-aware SCA ranks findings by whether your code actually calls the vulnerable path.
