What is CVE-2026-0621?

The MCP TypeScript SDK by Anthropic is vulnerable to a regular expression denial of service (ReDoS) issue in the UriTemplate class. This vulnerability affects versions up to and including 1.25.1, where the construction of nested quantifiers in dynamically generated regular expressions can lead to catastrophic backtracking. When processed with specially crafted RFC 6570 exploded array patterns, this can cause excessive CPU usage and potentially freeze the Node.js process, leading to denial of service. It is crucial for users of this SDK to implement mitigations against attacks that exploit this flaw.
