Affected: modelcontextprotocol python-sdk

The MCP Python SDK, called mcp on PyPI, is a Python implementation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP). From 1.23.0 until 1.27.2, default handlers installed by server.experimental.enable_tasks() for tasks/list, tasks/get, tasks/result, and tasks/cancel operate only on task identifiers without recording the session that created each task, allowing any connected client to enumerate, read results from, consume messages for, or cancel other clients' tasks. This issue is fixed in version 1.27.2.

Affected: PyPI: mcp

### Summary In affected versions, the default request handlers installed by the experimental tasks feature (`server.experimental.enable_tasks()`) did not check which session created a task before acting on it. On a server with more than one connected client, any client could observe, read results from, and cancel tasks belonging to other clients.

### Am I affected? Only if the developer's application server calls `server.experimental.enable_tasks()`. If `grep -r enable_tasks` over their codebase finds nothing, the application is not affected.

### Details When tasks support is enabled on the low-level server, default handlers are registered for `tasks/list`, `tasks/get`, `tasks/result`, and `tasks/cancel`. These handlers operated on the task identifier alone and kept no record of the session that created each task. Because `tasks/list` returned every task in the store, a connected client did not need to know any identifiers in advance: it could enumerate all tasks, read any task's status and result via `tasks/get` and `tasks/result`, retrieve queued task messages — such as elicitation requests intended for the task's creator, which are removed from the queue on delivery, so the intended recipient never receives them — and cancel any task via `tasks/cancel`.

### Impact Servers that call `server.experimental.enable_tasks()` and serve multiple clients are affected: one client can read other clients' task results and elicitation payloads, consume messages meant for them, and c…
