CVE-2026-25536
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedMCP TypeScript SDK is the official TypeScript SDK for Model Context Protocol servers and clients. From version 1.10.0 to 1.25.3, cross-client response data leak when a single McpServer/Server and transport instance is reused across multiple client connections, most commonly in stateless StreamableHTTPServerTransport deployments. This issue has been patched in version 1.26.0.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceThe MCP TypeScript SDK versions 1.10.0 through 1.25.3 contain a vulnerability where response data can leak between different client connections when a single McpServer/Server and transport instance is reused across multiple clients. This is most commonly exploited in stateless StreamableHTTPServerTransport deployments where server instances are shared.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify installed MCP TypeScript SDK versionCheck your package.json or node_modules/@modelcontextprotocol/typescript-sdk/package.json for the version field, or run 'npm list @modelcontextprotocol/typescript-sdk'Affected if The installed version is >= 1.10.0 and < 1.26.0
-
Determine if server instance is reused across connectionsReview your server initialization code to see if a single McpServer or Server instance is being reused for multiple client connections instead of creating a new instance per connectionAffected if A single server instance handles multiple clients without per-connection instantiation
-
Check for shared transport instancesExamine your code to see if StreamableHTTPServerTransport is instantiated once and reused across different client connectionsAffected if One transport instance serves multiple clients
-
Identify stateless deployment patternReview your deployment configuration to determine if you are using StreamableHTTPServerTransport in a stateless manner (e.g., serverless function, containerized service with connection pooling)Affected if StreamableHTTPServerTransport is deployed statelessly with shared server instances
You are affected if your MCP TypeScript SDK version is between 1.10.0 and 1.25.3 AND you reuse a single server or transport instance across multiple client connections, particularly in stateless StreamableHTTPServerTransport deployments.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped1.26.0
Upgrade the MCP TypeScript SDK to version 1.26.0 or later, which contains the patch for this vulnerability. Review any stateless deployments to ensure proper instance isolation per client connection.
1.26.0
- Identify the current Mcp TypeScript SDK version in your package.json or package-lock.json
- Update the @modelcontextprotocol/server package version to 1.26.0 in your package.json dependencies
- Run 'npm update' or 'npm install @modelcontextprotocol/[email protected]' to install the fixed version
- Verify the installation was successful by checking the installed version
- Test your application to confirm the cross-client response data leak is resolved
