No CVSS score has been assigned to GHSA-5gf6-gc35-xjpc yet. Review the advisory details and affected package list to assess your exposure.

Which packages are affected by GHSA-5gf6-gc35-xjpc?

GHSA-5gf6-gc35-xjpc affects the following packages: github.com/googleapis/mcp-toolbox (Go). Ecosystems affected: Go.

How do I fix GHSA-5gf6-gc35-xjpc?

Update github.com/googleapis/mcp-toolbox to 1.4.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-5gf6-gc35-xjpc is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-5gf6-gc35-xjpc in my Go dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for github.com/googleapis/mcp-toolbox. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.

How do I mitigate GHSA-5gf6-gc35-xjpc if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

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 does O3 Security protect against GHSA-5gf6-gc35-xjpc?

O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-5gf6-gc35-xjpc is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.

Is GHSA-5gf6-gc35-xjpc actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-5gf6-gc35-xjpc yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

What is the EPSS score for GHSA-5gf6-gc35-xjpc?

GHSA-5gf6-gc35-xjpc has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.1%, placing it in the 5th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. This score indicates relatively lower exploitation probability, though the CVSS severity should still guide your patching priority.

What type of vulnerability is GHSA-5gf6-gc35-xjpc?

GHSA-5gf6-gc35-xjpc is classified as CWE-862 (CWE-862). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation.

When was GHSA-5gf6-gc35-xjpc published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-5gf6-gc35-xjpc was published on June 18, 2026 and was last updated on June 25, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Description

An authenticated authorization bypass vulnerability exists in MCP Toolbox for Databases due to missing scope enforcement across older protocol handlers.

While the 2025-11-25 protocol version handler correctly enforces per-tool restrictions defined by scopesRequired, older supported protocol versions (2025-06-18, 2025-03-26, and 2024-11-05) omit this check. An authenticated client with low-privilege tokens (e.g., read) can bypass the intended per-tool scope restrictions and execute high-privilege tools (e.g., admin) simply by specifying an older protocol version in the MCP-Protocol-Version header, or by omitting the header entirely (which causes the server to default to the vulnerable 2024-11-05 handler).
