CVE-2026-47427
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
GitHub MCP Server is GitHub's official MCP Server. Prior to 1.1.0, the CompletionsHandler function in pkg/github/server.go accesses params.Ref without first checking whether it is nil, so a completion/complete request with a missing or empty ref field triggers a nil pointer dereference and a Go runtime panic; because the crash occurs before any authentication or token validation, any unauthenticated client able to send JSON-RPC messages can crash the server, resulting in a complete denial of service. This issue is fixed in version 1.1.0.

"value": "El Servidor MCP de GitHub es el Servidor MCP oficial de GitHub. Antes de la 1.1.0, la función CompletionsHandler en pkg/github/server.go accede a params.Ref sin verificar primero si es nulo, por lo que una solicitud de completion/complete con un campo ref faltante o vacío desencadena una desreferenciación de puntero nulo y un pánico en tiempo de ejecución de Go; debido a que el fallo ocurre antes de cualquier autenticación o validación de token, cualquier cliente no autenticado capaz de enviar mensajes JSON-RPC puede hacer que el servidor falle, resultando en una denegación de servicio completa. Este problema está solucionado en la versión 1.1.0."
