  "details": "### Summary\nThe TrailingSlashMiddleware in internal/api/server.go is vulnerable to an open redirect attack. An attacker can craft a URL with a protocol-relative path (e.g., //evil.com/) that, after trailing slash removal, results in a Location header of //evil.com \u2014 which browsers interpret as an absolute URL to an external domain.\n\n### Details\nThe TrailingSlashMiddleware strips trailing slashes from request paths and issues a 308 Permanent Redirect to the cleaned path. However, it does not validate or sanitize the resulting path before using it as the redirect target.\n\nWhen a request is made with a path like //evil.com/, the middleware processes it as follows:\n\n### PoC\n1. Start the registry server locally or identify a deployed instance\n2. Send a request with a double-slash path followed by an external domain:\n`curl -v https://\u003cregistry-host\u003e//evil.com/`\n\u003cimg width=\"3066\" height=\"969\" alt=\"image\" src=\"https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/a5305f00-29bf-4708-952a-478d608f2074\" /\u003e\n3. Observe the 308 Permanent Redirect response with Location: //evil.com:\n4. When accessed in a browser, the user is redirected to https://evil.com\n\n\n\n### Impact\n**Phishing**: Attackers can abuse the trusted registry domain to redirect users to credential-harvesting pages\n**Malware distribution**: Redirect users to sites serving malicious downloads\n**Trust abuse:** Links originating from the official MCP Registry domain carry implicit trust",
