criticalK5Auto-Approve / Bypass Confirmation PatternMCP06-excessive-permissionsAML.T0054
Pattern "(skip|bypass|disable|suppress|hide)[_\s-]?(user|human)?[_\s-]?(confirm|approv|consent|dialog|prompt|warning)" matched in source_code: "skip-prompt" (at position 1618)
Never auto-approve or bypass human confirmation for operations with side effects. Implement explicit confirmation gates that cannot be programmatically bypassed. If batch/CI mode is needed, require an explicit opt-in flag with audit logging. Required by EU AI Act Art. 14 (human oversight) and OWASP ASI09.
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 768)
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.
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 7827)
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).

highQ14Concurrent MCP Server Race ConditionMCP07-insecure-configT1068
Pattern "(?:tmp|temp|tmpdir|os\.tmpdir).*(?:write|create|exec)(?!.*(?:mkdtemp|exclusive|O_EXCL))" matched in source_code: "template has been create" (at position 7754)
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.

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.
