SCA: security update for mcp (GHSA-rwrf-2pqf-9j8j)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 477695

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- The Model Context Protocol Python SDK is the official Python SDK for Model Context Protocol servers and
clients. From 1.10.0 until 1.30.0 and 2.2.0, ClientSession, ClientSessionGroup, and Client tool calls
validate server-declared outputSchema documents with jsonschema's default resolver, causing an unresolved
$ref value to fetch an HTTP, HTTPS, or file URL from the client's network and filesystem context. A server
can trigger blind requests or local-file reads and can stall every session in the process because
resolution runs synchronously on the event loop without a timeout. This issue is fixed in versions 1.30.0
and 2.2.0. (CVE-2026-116686)

Solution

Update the mcp library and its related packages to version 1.30.0 or later.
