criticalC1Command InjectionMCP03-command-injectionAML.T0054
Pattern "`[^`]+`" matched in source_code: "`Unknown tool: ${name}`" (at position 3075)
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.
criticalC2Path TraversalMCP05-privilege-escalationAML.T0054
[AST taint] function_return source "XLSX.readFile(absolutePath)" (L144) → file_write sink "writeFile(workbook, absolutePath)" (L231). File write — arbitrary path write. Module: fs. Known sanitizers: resolve, normalize.
Use path.resolve() to normalize paths. Validate against an allowed directory prefix. Reject paths containing '..'.
criticalQ13MCP Bridge Package Supply Chain AttackMCP10-supply-chainAML.T0054
Pattern "["']@modelcontextprotocol/sdk["']\s*:\s*["'](?:\^|~|\*|latest)" matched in source_code: ""@modelcontextprotocol/sdk": "^" (at position 6999)
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.

highD1Known CVEs in DependenciesMCP08-dependency-vuln
Dependency "xlsx@0.18.5" has known CVEs:
Update dependencies to versions that patch known CVEs. Run 'npm audit fix' or 'pip-audit' to identify and resolve vulnerable dependencies.
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.
highN1JSON-RPC Batch Request AbuseMCP07-insecure-configAML.T0054
Pattern "Array\.isArray\(\s*(body|request|message|data|payload)\s*\)(?!.*(?:length\s*[<>]|maxBatch|batch[_\s-]?limit|MAX_BATCH))" matched in source_code: "Array.isArray(data)" (at position 5755)
Enforce a maximum batch size for JSON-RPC requests (recommended: 20-25 requests per batch). Reject batches exceeding the limit with a -32600 (Invalid Request) error. Implement per-batch timeout and memory limits. Reference: JSON-RPC 2.0 Section 6 (Batch) does not mandate limits — servers MUST enforce them.
highQ14Concurrent MCP Server Race ConditionMCP07-insecure-configT1068
Pattern "(?:read|write|modify|delete).*(?:file|path|directory)(?!.*(?:lock|mutex|semaphore|flock|atomic))" matched in source_code: "writeFile" (at position 404)
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.
highJ5Tool Output Poisoning PatternsMCP01-prompt-injectionAML.T0054
[AST — J5] Catch block at L111 interpolates error variable "error" into response. If the error originates from attacker-controlled input (e.g., malformed data), the error message becomes an injection vector into the AI's context.
Never include user input or LLM manipulation directives in error messages or tool responses. Use structured error codes.
highD1Known CVEs in DependenciesMCP08-dependency-vuln
Dependency "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.0.0" has known CVEs:
Update dependencies to versions that patch known CVEs. Run 'npm audit fix' or 'pip-audit' to identify and resolve vulnerable dependencies.

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.
