·1 views

This is a submission for the Hacktoberfest Weekend Challenge: Build for a Friend. I built Five Good Things, a small private bot that helps two friends stay emotionally connected through a simple daily practice: sharing five good things that happened during the day. This project is personal. My friend is currently living in Ukraine, where daily life is affected by the ongoing war and shelling. We have a habit of telling each other five good things from our day.

I Audited the MCP SDK OAuth Fix: 3 Checks Upgrading Misses

Last week the official MCP Python SDK shipped a fix for a credential theft bug, and the fix itself has a trap that a version check will not catch. I was researching the disclosure for my own MCP servers and the remediation notes stopped me cold: patch the package, and part of the vulnerability survives unless you also change how you construct your OAuth providers. Here is the short version. On September 28, a GitHub advisory landed on the modelcontextprotocol python-sdk repo: GHSA-qx49-fqc8-xw99, titled "OAuth client could send credentials to an authorization server chosen by the MCP server."
