criticalC1Command InjectionMCP03-command-injectionAML.T0054
Pattern "exec\s*\(" matched in source_code: "exec(" (at position 5978)
Replace exec()/execSync() with execFile() and pass arguments as an array, never as a string. Validate all inputs against an allowlist before use in any shell context. For subprocess.run, always pass a list and shell=False.
criticalJ1Cross-Agent Configuration PoisoningMCP05-privilege-escalationAML.T0054
Pattern "(\.cursor[/\\]|cursor[/\\]mcp\.json)" matched in source_code: ".cursor/" (at position 3156)
MCP servers MUST NOT write to AI agent configuration directories. If configuration management is the server's purpose, require explicit user confirmation before any write and restrict paths to the server's own config namespace. CVE-2025-53773 demonstrated this enables full RCE across agent boundaries.
criticalQ13MCP Bridge Package Supply Chain AttackMCP10-supply-chainAML.T0054
Pattern "(?:mcp|fastmcp|langchain-mcp|llama-index-mcp)(?:>=|~=|==)?(?!\d)" matched in source_code: "MCP" (at position 51)
MCP bridge packages (mcp-remote, mcp-proxy, @modelcontextprotocol/sdk, fastmcp) are high-value supply chain targets — CVE-2025-6514 (CVSS 9.6) in mcp-remote affected 437,000+ installs. Always pin exact versions (no ^ or ~ ranges). Use lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, uv.lock). Never run `npx mcp-remote` without version pinning. Verify package integrity with `npm audit` or `pip-audit` before deployment. Reference: CVE-2025-6514, OWASP ASI04.
criticalQ4IDE MCP Configuration InjectionMCP10-supply-chainAML.T0054
Pattern "(?:\.CURSOR|\.Cursor)[/\\]" matched in source_code: ".cursor/" (at position 3156)
MCP servers must NOT write to IDE configuration files (.cursor/mcp.json, .vscode/settings.json, .claude/settings.local.json) without explicit, interactive user confirmation that cannot be bypassed by repository-controlled settings. CVE-2025-54135/54136 (Cursor), CVE-2025-59536 (Claude Code) demonstrated that auto-start and silent config mutation enable RCE. Implement case-normalized path validation (CVE-2025-59944). Never use enableAllProjectMcpServers in shared repositories.

Remove all code that calculates sleep/delay durations from application data, secrets, or any variable-length content. Tool response times should be constant or determined only by legitimate processing time. If rate limiting is needed, use fixed intervals not derived from data values. Monitor for anomalous response time patterns that could indicate timing-based exfiltration.

highQ14Concurrent MCP Server Race ConditionMCP07-insecure-configT1068

MCP servers sharing filesystem or database backends with other servers must implement proper concurrency controls. Use: (1) file locking (flock/lockfile) for filesystem operations, (2) database transactions for all read-modify-write sequences, (3) atomic file operations (O_EXCL, mkdtemp) instead of check-then-create, (4) lstat() to detect symlinks before following (CVE-2025-53109). Never assume exclusive access to shared resources — other MCP servers may be operating concurrently.
