Summary
PDF Reader MCP: HTTP transport accepts unauthenticated requests despite a configured MCP_API_KEY
Details

PDF Reader MCP is a Model Context Protocol server for reading PDF documents. In versions 2.2.0 and later prior to 3.0.1, when MCP_TRANSPORT=http enables the opt-in HTTP server, @sylphx/pdf-reader-mcp reads MCP_API_KEY and logs that X-API-Key authentication is enabled but never validates the X-API-Key header on incoming requests. The /mcp endpoint consequently accepts unauthenticated clients. With the default bind address of 0.0.0.0, any client able to reach the port can invoke every PDF tool and read any PDF the server process can open on the host, despite the misleading authentication-enabled startup log. URL-based sources additionally permit limited server-side request forgery; private and loopback destinations are blocked by default unless --allow-private-ips is set. The default stdio transport is unaffected. This issue is fixed in version 3.0.1.
