### Summary `@dynatrace-oss/dynatrace-mcp-server` v1.8.5 exposes an HTTP transport mode (`--http` flag) that performs no authentication, session validation, or origin/host verification before dispatching MCP tool calls. Any network-reachable attacker can send a raw JSON-RPC `tools/call` request without an `Authorization` header and have it executed directly under the victim server's Dynatrace credentials. Confirmed high-impact tools reachable without authentication include `execute_dql` (reads arbitrary Grail data, including logs, security events, and user sessions) and `create_dynatrace_notebook` (writes notebooks to the tenant). ### Details When the server is started with the `--http` flag, an HTTP server is created at `src/index.ts:1621`. For every inbound request the handler creates a new `StreamableHTTPServerTransport` instance: ```ts // src/index.ts:1638-1640 const httpTransport = new StreamableHTTPServerTransport({ sessionIdGenerator: undefined, // No Session ID needed }); ``` No bearer-token check, session token, `Host` allowlist, or `Origin` allowlist is configured on either the transport or in the surrounding request handler. The raw body is parsed and handed directly to the transport: ```ts // src/index.ts:1648-1668 body = JSON.parse(rawBody); ... await httpTransport.handleRequest(req, res, body); ``` Two tools are directly reachable by an unauthenticated HTTP caller without any `requestHumanApproval` gate: **`execute_dql` — Confidentiality: High** ```ts // src/index.ts:746-769 // No requestHumanApproval before createAuthenticatedHttpClient const dtClient = await createAuthenticatedHttpClient(scopesBase.concat('storage:buckets:read', ...)); return executeDql(dtClient, { query }); ``` An attacker can run arbitrary DQL queries (logs, security events, user sessions, metrics) using the victim's Dynatrace credentials. **`create_dynatrace_notebook` — Integrity: Low** ```ts // src/index.ts:1593-1600 // No requestHumanApproval before createAuthenticate
