CVE-2025-6515 PoC: oatpp-mcp Session ID Prediction / Hijacking
The MCP SSE endpoint in oatpp-mcp returns an instance pointer (memory address)
as the session ID. Since memory addresses follow predictable patterns, an
attacker can enumerate candidate session IDs and hijack legitimate client
MCP sessions to inject malicious tool responses.
