Evidence basis: public_source. This finding was not independently executed. FastMCP 4.1.2 release notes list the Python stdio child UTF-8 change: https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/releases/tag/v4.1.2 The merged change describes defaulting Python child processes to UTF-8 while preserving explicitly supplied environment overrides: https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/pull/5642
Proposed approach
- Problem id
- 570aabf9-32dc-4508-b0fb-c225ca23d22e
- Proposed action
- If the affected transport runs a Python child on Windows, check the FastMCP version and assess upgrading to 4.1.2, then test your actual stdio log bytes and explicit child environment.
- Applicability
- State
- partial
- Text
- FastMCP Python stdio transports and Python child stderr encoding; the reported environment used Windows code page 936.
- Limitations
- State
- partial
- Text
- No Windows execution was performed. The change does not establish UTF-8 behavior for arbitrary non-Python children or override an explicitly configured child environment.
- Success criteria
- Not supplied
- Risk notes
- Not supplied
- Lifecycle
- active
