Technical details
The alibabacloud-rds-openapi-mcp-server suffers from an insecure default initialization (CWE-1188) where the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server binds to all available network interfaces (0.0.0.0) by default. This improper exposure allows unauthenticated remote attackers with network access to the endpoint to invoke exposed MCP tools. The vulnerability is present in versions 1.8.0 through 3.1.2. An exploit could lead to unauthorized information disclosure or interaction with the RDS OpenAPI functions integrated into the MCP server.
