criticalC2Path TraversalMCP05-privilege-escalation
Pattern "\.\./\.\." matched in source_code: "../.." (at position 991)
Use path.resolve() to canonicalize paths, then verify the result starts with the intended base directory. Reject any input containing '..', null bytes, or encoded variants. Never concatenate user input into file paths.
criticalJ1Cross-Agent Configuration PoisoningMCP05-privilege-escalationAML.T0054
Pattern "(\.claude[/\\]|claude[/\\]settings|claude.*config)" matched in source_code: ".claude/" (at position 2575)
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 "["']@modelcontextprotocol/sdk["']\s*:\s*["'](?:\^|~|\*|latest)" matched in source_code: ""@modelcontextprotocol/sdk": "^" (at position 5637)
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 "(?:MCP|Mcp|mCp|mcP)\.(?:JSON|Json|jSon|jsoN)" matched in source_code: "mcp.json" (at position 2561)
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.

highK11Missing Server Integrity VerificationMCP10-supply-chainAML.T0054
Pattern "(connect|load|register|add)[_\s-]?(mcp|server|tool)(?!.*(?:verify|validate|checksum|hash|sign|cert|fingerprint|pin))" matched in source_code: "registerTool" (at position 439)
Implement cryptographic verification for MCP server connections: (1) Pin server TLS certificates or public keys, (2) Verify server tool definition checksums against a known-good manifest, (3) Use package manager integrity checks (npm integrity, pip --require-hashes). The MCP spec recommends but doesn't yet mandate server signing — implement it proactively. Required by ISO 27001 A.8.24 and CoSAI MCP-T6.
highD1Known CVEs in DependenciesMCP08-dependency-vuln
Dependency "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.25.2" has known CVEs:
Update dependencies to versions that patch known CVEs. Run 'npm audit fix' or 'pip-audit' to identify and resolve vulnerable dependencies.
highO6Server Fingerprinting via Error ResponsesMCP04-data-exfiltrationAML.T0057
Pattern "(?:res\.(?:send|json)|return|response).*(?:__dirname|__filename|process\.cwd\(\)|path\.resolve|path\.join)" matched in source_code: "return resolve(__dirname" (at position 1067)
Never expose process, OS, runtime, or database metadata in tool responses or error messages. Use generic error messages ("An error occurred") for production responses. Remove or disable debug/diagnostic endpoints. If health endpoints are needed, limit them to simple "ok"/"error" status without infrastructure details. Wrap all error handlers with a sanitization layer that strips system information.

lowF4MCP Spec Non-ComplianceMCP07-insecure-config
Server fails MCP spec compliance checks: required:server_name; required:server_version; required:protocol_version; recommended:tool_descriptions; recommended:parameter_descriptions
Follow the MCP specification for server metadata. Include server name, version, and protocol version. Provide descriptions for all tools and parameters.
