criticalQ9Agentic Workflow DAG ManipulationMCP05-privilege-escalationAML.T0058
Pattern "(?:next[_\s]?(?:step|node|agent)|route[_\s]?to|redirect[_\s]?to|skip[_\s]?(?:step|node|validation))" matched in source_code: "Next step" (at position 40308)
MCP tools must NOT modify agentic workflow graphs, execution order, or routing during runtime. Workflow structure should be immutable once execution begins. If dynamic workflow modification is required, implement: (1) approval gates that require human confirmation before graph mutations, (2) integrity checks that validate the workflow graph against a known-good baseline after each step, (3) audit logging of all graph modifications with rollback capability. Reference: arXiv 2602.19555, Trend Micro subgraph impersonation attack (2026).
criticalJ7OpenAPI Specification Field InjectionMCP03-command-injectionAML.T0054
Pattern "(?:summary|operationId|description).*\$\{|`.*(?:summary|operationId)" matched in source_code: "description: `Search across all ${this.domainInfo.description} for ${" (at position 1939)
Sanitize all OpenAPI specification fields before using them in code generation or template interpolation. Treat summary, description, operationId, and extension fields as untrusted input. Use parameterized templates instead of string interpolation. See CVE-2026-22785/23947.
criticalK8Cross-Boundary Credential SharingMCP05-privilege-escalationAML.T0054
Pattern "(return|respond|output|result).*(?:token|credential|api[_\s-]?key|secret|password|bearer)" matched in source_code: "return await this.handleSearchContent(args as { query?: string; continuation_token" (at position 12726)
Never forward, share, or embed credentials across trust boundaries. Use OAuth token exchange (RFC 8693) to create scoped, delegated tokens instead of passing original credentials. Never include credentials in tool responses. Required by ISO 27001 A.5.17 and OWASP ASI03.
criticalQ13MCP Bridge Package Supply Chain AttackMCP10-supply-chainAML.T0054
Pattern "["']@modelcontextprotocol/sdk["']\s*:\s*["'](?:\^|~|\*|latest)" matched in source_code: ""@modelcontextprotocol/sdk": "^" (at position 46313)
MCP bridge packages (mcp-remote, mcp-proxy, @modelcontextprotocol/sdk, fastmcp) are high-value supply chain targets — CVE-2025-6514 (CVSS 9.6) in mcp-remote affected 437,000+ installs. Always pin exact versions (no ^ or ~ ranges). Use lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, uv.lock). Never run `npx mcp-remote` without version pinning. Verify package integrity with `npm audit` or `pip-audit` before deployment. Reference: CVE-2025-6514, OWASP ASI04.
criticalC1Command InjectionMCP03-command-injectionAML.T0054
Pattern "`[^`]+`" matched in source_code: "`${this.domainInfo.toolPrefix}search_content`" (at position 1880)
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.

highK18Cross-Trust-Boundary Data Flow in Tool ResponseMCP04-data-exfiltrationAML.T0054
Pattern "(?:process\.env|os\.environ|config|settings).*(?:fetch|axios|http|post|send|webhook)" matched in source_code: "process.env.MCP_HTTP_PORT ? parseInt(process.env.MCP_HTTP" (at position 44925)
Implement data flow taint tracking: tag data from sensitive sources (databases, credentials, files) and prevent it from flowing to external sinks (HTTP, webhooks, email) without explicit sanitization/redaction. Apply data classification and enforce boundary controls per trust level. Required by ISO 27001 A.5.14 and CoSAI MCP-T5.
highK13Unsanitized Tool OutputMCP02-tool-poisoningAML.T0054
Pattern "(?:query|execute|select|find).*(?:return|respond|result|rows|data)(?!.*(?:sanitize|escape|encode|map|filter|select|pick))" matched in source_code: "query = tokenData" (at position 14868)
Sanitize all external data before including in tool responses. Implement output encoding that neutralizes prompt injection patterns. Truncate excessively long content. Validate structure before passing database results. Apply the principle: treat all external data as untrusted, even in tool outputs. Required by CoSAI MCP-T4.
highK16Unbounded Recursion / Missing Depth LimitsMCP07-insecure-configAML.T0054
Pattern "(invoke|call|execute)[_\s-]?(?:tool|agent|self)(?!.*(?:depth|level|limit|max[_\s-]?(?:depth|recursi|iter|call)|count))" matched in source_code: "CallTool" (at position 213)
Add explicit depth/recursion limits to all recursive operations. Use iterative approaches where possible. Set maximum depth for directory walking (max_depth=10), tree traversal (max_level=20), and agent re-invocation (max_calls=5). Implement circuit breakers that halt after N iterations. Required by EU AI Act Art. 15 (robustness) and OWASP ASI08.

Pattern "(?:query|execute|find|select|aggregate)\s*\((?!.*(?:timeout|maxTimeMS|statement_timeout|deadline|cancel))" matched in source_code: "find(" (at position 26390)
Add timeouts to ALL external calls: HTTP requests (30s), database queries (10s), subprocess execution (60s), and MCP tool calls (30s). Implement circuit breakers that open after N consecutive failures (e.g., opossum, cockatiel). Use AbortSignal for cancellable operations. Required by EU AI Act Art. 15 and OWASP ASI08.
