rmcp is vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS)
75
High Risk
This Affects:
rmcpTL;DR
The Streamable HTTP server transport in crates/rmcp/src/transport/streamable_http_server/tower.rs allocates a session via create_session before it validates the request body in handle_post. An unauthenticated remote attacker can send a well-formed JSON-RPC POST that is not an InitializeRequest, which triggers an early return without calling close_session, permanently leaking one LocalSessionHandle entry per request from the in-memory session table. Sustained requests grow memory without bound and eventually exhaust the server, causing denial of service. The fix moves request validation before session creation so non-initialize requests are rejected without allocating session state.
