Rust MCP server audit reveals critical bugs including swapped client results

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A developer audited their Rust implementation of the MCP server against its specification, uncovering several critical bugs. One significant issue involved the server incorrectly swapping results between two different client sessions that shared the same JSON-RPC request ID. Other identified problems included the ping function waiting for tool calls, cancellation requests being ignored until after completion, panicking tools returning unmatchable error codes, and tool failures being misrepresented as protocol errors. The server's default binding to 0.0.0.0 and disregard for origin headers were also addressed to prevent DNS rebinding vulnerabilities. AI

    Two sessions sent the same request id. My MCP server swapped their results.

    <p>I audited my own Rust MCP server against the spec, line by line. One row of the audit was a bug I would not have guessed: two clients that happened to use the same JSON-RPC request id received each other's results.</p> <p>That is not a protocol nitpick. It is the server answer…
