Schedule itHigh7.7EPSS not scored yet

CVE-2026-111770 is a race condition in modelcontextprotocol typescript-sdk, rated high (7.7 on CVSS 3.1).

Why this priority: High severity, with no exploitation signal yet.

Published · Updated · NVD status: Received

What it is

Two operations race on shared state, and an attacker who wins the race bypasses a check or corrupts data.

How it is reached

An attacker can exploit it over the network, without an account, and nobody has to click anything. Success also depends on conditions the attacker does not fully control.

What an attacker gains

A successful attack can read the data it protects and take it offline. In practice, this kind of flaw lets an attacker win a timing window to bypass a check or corrupt shared state.

Is it being exploited?

There is no public report of exploitation yet.

What to do

  1. Upgrade modelcontextprotocol typescript-sdk to 1.32.0 or later. Other affected products have their own fixed versions on this page.
  2. Until it is patched, keep it off the internet or behind a VPN, allowlist or authenticating proxy.

Description from NVD

The Model Context Protocol TypeScript SDK provides TypeScript client and server implementations of the Model Context Protocol. From 2.0.0 until 2.3.0 in @modelcontextprotocol/server, applications that shared one stateless HTTP transport or one McpServer or Server instance among multiple clients could deliver responses and notifications to the wrong client. The affected surface is an MCP server reached over HTTP by multiple clients. The trigger is reuse of one stateless transport or server instance. Messages were associated with a connection using only the JSON-RPC request identifier. SDK clients start request identifiers at zero, so collisions occur in normal operation. Cross-client delivery exposes one client's responses and notifications to another client. The issue requires an HTTP endpoint reachable by more than one client and an application that constructs the server or transport once at startup instead of once per request or session. stdio servers and factory-created per-call servers are not affected. Upgrading causes reused instances to fail and therefore requires an application code change. This issue is fixed in @modelcontextprotocol/server 2.3.0.

What this means for your architecture.

A CVE names a product. Whether it matters depends on where that product sits in your systems: what reaches it, which trust boundary it guards and what it can reach once compromised. Veriom maps your components, their relationships and your trust boundaries from your code, cloud and delivery evidence, so you can see where a component like this sits. The radar itself does not look at your systems.

Components it touches

  • Request handlers and jobs that share state. The flaw sits between concurrent requests or processes.

Trust boundaries in play

  • Internet-facing entry points. No account is needed. Any instance reachable from outside your perimeter, through a load balancer, gateway, VPN or exposed admin port, is in scope.
  • Between concurrent requests or processes. An attacker who crosses it can win a timing window to bypass a check or corrupt shared state.

Questions to answer about your own systems

  • Where does modelcontextprotocol typescript-sdk run in your systems, and at which version?
  • Which of those instances can be reached from the internet or partner networks?
  • What can it reach once compromised: which data stores, secrets and services?
