Which packages are affected by GHSA-mxxr-jv3v-6pgc?

GHSA-mxxr-jv3v-6pgc affects the following packages: fastmcp (PyPI). Ecosystems affected: PyPI.

How do I fix GHSA-mxxr-jv3v-6pgc?

Update fastmcp to 2.13.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-mxxr-jv3v-6pgc is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-mxxr-jv3v-6pgc in my PyPI dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for fastmcp, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

How do I mitigate GHSA-mxxr-jv3v-6pgc 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-mxxr-jv3v-6pgc?

O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like GHSA-mxxr-jv3v-6pgc can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.

Is GHSA-mxxr-jv3v-6pgc actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-mxxr-jv3v-6pgc 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-mxxr-jv3v-6pgc?

GHSA-mxxr-jv3v-6pgc has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.3%, placing it in the 16th 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-mxxr-jv3v-6pgc?

GHSA-mxxr-jv3v-6pgc is classified as Cross-site Scripting (XSS) (CWE-79). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation. This is a high-impact weakness class that often enables remote code execution or data exposure.

When was GHSA-mxxr-jv3v-6pgc published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-mxxr-jv3v-6pgc was published on October 29, 2025 and was last updated on July 7, 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

Summary

While setting up an oauth client, it was noticed that the callback page hosted by the client during the flow embeds user-controlled content without escaping or sanitizing it. This leads to a reflected Cross-Site-Scripting vulnerability.

Details

The affected code is located in https://github.com/jlowin/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/client/oauth_callback.py, which embeds all values passed to the create_callback_html function via the message parameter it into the callback page without escaping them. This can, for example, be abused by calling the callback server with an XSS payload inside the error GET parameter, the value of which will then be inserted into the callback page, causing the execution of attacker-controlled JavaScript code in the callback server's origin. Note that besides the error parameter, other parameters reaching this function are affected too.

PoC

Setup a simple fastmcp client such as this one (the callback server's port was fixated for simplicity):

url="http://127.0.0.1:8000/mcp"
oauth = OAuth(mcp_url=url,callback_port=1337)

async def main():
    async with Client(url, auth=oauth) as client:
        await client.ping()
        
        # List available operations
        tools = await client.list_tools()

        print(f"tools: {tools}")
       
asyncio.run(main())

Ensure that the MCP server located at http://127.0.0.1:8000/mcp supports oauth.
Start the client.
As soon as the callback server has been started, access http://localhost:1337/callback?error=<img/src/onerror=alert(window.origin)>

Note that the exploitation could also for example be initiated by a malicious authorization server by returning the exploitation URL mentioned before in the authorization_endpoint field. The client would then automatically open, causing the XSS to trigger immediatly.

Impact

The impact of this XSS vulnerability is the arbitrary JavaScript execution in the victim's browser in the callback server's origin.
