Kozou: Unauthenticated MCP HTTP server and bundled dev-stack hardening (DNS-rebinding, request-body limits, read-only reads, default network exposure)

- Issue
- Kozou compiles a PostgreSQL schema into an Admin UI, a REST API, and an MCP server. Several hardening gaps in the bundled HTTP surfaces and the scaffolded dev stack are fixed in 1.8.1. Issues 1. MCP HTTP server lacked DNS-rebinding protection. The Streamable HTTP transport is unauthenticated and loopback by default. Without Host/Origin validation, a malicious web page in the operator's browser could rebind a hostname it controls to the loopback address and drive the MCP endpoint — reading schema metadata, or (when the opt-in call execution tool is enabled) executing exposed functions as the execution role. 2. Unbounded request-body buffering (DoS). Both the MCP HTTP server and the in-house REST server read the entire request body into memory with no size limit, so a reachable client could drive the process toward memory exhaustion. 3. Read requests ran in a read/write transaction. The shared role-transaction envelope opened every request with a plain BEGIN, so a GET ran read/write. A…
Recommended action: Upgrade to 1.8.1 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
