3.12.0.2

Release date 2025/12/10

Bugfix

  • Fixed an issue where MCP-like request was not authenticated. Previously, we only authenticated requests that satisfied the MCP spec. As a result, the attacker can bypass this via an MCP-like request. Therefore, now we change to authenticate all the requests.

  • Fixed an issue where the oidc schema was polluted during merging.

  • Fixed an issue where resource without path was not correctly handled.

  • Fixed an issue where x-forwarded-* headers were not respected.
