GHSA-9vhv-g5hf-m7m7: fast-agent: `fast-agent serve` binds HTTP to 0.0.0.0 with no authentication by default; with --shell this is unauthenticated remote command execution

fast-agent is a framework for building, running, and evaluating AI agents with Model Context Protocol support. Prior to 0.7.21, fast-agent serve uses HTTP transport bound to 0.0.0.0 on port 8000 without authentication, allowing any network client that can reach the /mcp endpoint to invoke the exposed agent tool. When the server is started with --shell, the agent can call the local execute tool implemented by tools/localshellexecutor.py, so an unauthenticated remote client can cause operating-system commands to run as the server user; without --shell, the client can still consume the operator's model and configured MCP tools. The defaults are defined in cli/commands/serve.py and mcp/server/agentserver.py, and the non-interactive server permission prompt does not prevent the described access. This issue is fixed in version 0.7.21.
