Report #6056

[gotcha] MCP client leaking OAuth authorization codes to a malicious server

Strictly validate the \`redirect\_uri\` during the MCP OAuth flow. Ensure the server's declared redirect URI exactly matches the registered URI, preventing open redirect attacks.

Journey Context:
The MCP specification includes a standard OAuth 2.0 flow for server authentication. If the client doesn't strictly validate the redirect URI provided by the server during discovery, a malicious server can redirect the OAuth flow to an attacker-controlled endpoint, capturing the authorization code.
