criticalQ13MCP Bridge Package Supply Chain AttackMCP10-supply-chainAML.T0054
Pattern "["']@modelcontextprotocol/sdk["']\s*:\s*["'](?:\^|~|\*|latest)" matched in source_code: ""@modelcontextprotocol/sdk": "^" (at position 35155)
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 26978)
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.

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: "find free tiers, startup credits, and deals on developer infrastructure. Use these tools when a user is evaluating cloud providers, data" (at position 1577)
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.
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.
highN10Incomplete Handshake Denial of ServiceMCP07-insecure-configAML.T0054
Pattern "(?:createServer|listen)\s*\((?!.*(?:maxConnections|maxClients|connectionLimit|MAX_CONN))" matched in source_code: "createServer(" (at position 226)
Enforce a handshake timeout (recommended: 30 seconds) — terminate connections that do not complete the initialize handshake within the deadline. Limit maximum concurrent pending connections. An attacker can exhaust server connection slots by initiating MCP connections without completing the handshake (Slowloris-style attack). Reference: MCP spec 2025-03-26 lifecycle — initialize MUST complete before functional requests.
highO6Server Fingerprinting via Error ResponsesMCP04-data-exfiltrationAML.T0057
Pattern "(?:diagnostics?|debug|system_?info|server_?info|health_?detailed|status_?detail)\s*[:=]\s*\{[^}]*(?:version|os|arch|platform|uptime|memory|cpu|disk|hostname|pid)" matched in source_code: "serverInfo: {
name: "agentdeals",
title: "AgentDeals",
version" (at position 27267)
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.
highK4Missing Human Confirmation for Destructive OpsMCP06-excessive-permissionsAML.T0054
Pattern "(?:execute|run|perform|call).*(?:delete|remove|drop|truncate|destroy)(?!.*(?:confirm|approve|prompt|ask|verify))" matched in source_code: "Call this tool when a user asks: 'What developer pricing changed recently?', 'Are any free tiers being remove" (at position 15451)
All destructive operations (delete, drop, overwrite, send) MUST include a human confirmation step. Use the MCP destructiveHint annotation to signal that client-side confirmation is required. Implement an approval gate pattern: preview changes → request confirmation → execute. Required by ISO 42001 A.9.1, EU AI Act Art. 14, and NIST AI RMF GOVERN 1.7.
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 1951)
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.

mediumK17Missing Timeout or Circuit BreakerMCP07-insecure-configAML.T0054
Pattern "(?:fetch|axios|got|request|urllib|httpx|http\.get|http\.post)\s*\((?!.*(?:timeout|signal|AbortSignal|deadline|cancel))" matched in source_code: "Request(" (at position 4089)
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.

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.
