CVE-2025-53365: MCP Python SDK has Unhandled Exception in Streamable HTTP Transport, Leading to Denial of Service
(updated )
If a client deliberately triggers an exception after establishing a streamable HTTP session, this can lead to an uncaught ClosedResourceError on the server side, causing the server to crash and requiring a restart to restore service. Impact may vary depending on the deployment conditions, and presence of infrastructure-level resilience measures.
Thank you to Rich Harang for reporting this issue.
