criticalC1Command InjectionMCP03-command-injectionAML.T0054
Pattern "`[^`]+`" matched in source_code: "`${timestamp}_${moduleName}`" (at position 1353)
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.
criticalL7Transitive MCP Server DelegationMCP06-excessive-permissionsAML.T0054
Pattern "(?:import|require).*(?:@modelcontextprotocol/sdk.*client|mcp.*client)" matched in source_code: "import { callMcpTool } from './mcp-client" (at position 378)
MCP servers MUST NOT create client connections to other MCP servers without explicit user disclosure. If delegation is required, declare all downstream servers in the server's capabilities and tool descriptions. Never forward user credentials to sub-servers. Implement a trust boundary between the approved server and any delegated servers. Log all transitive delegations for audit.
criticalQ11Code Suggestion Poisoning via MCPMCP01-prompt-injectionAML.T0054.001
Pattern "(?:suggest|generate|complete|insert).*(?:code|function|class|import|require)" matched in source_code: "Generate code" (at position 5817)
MCP tool outputs flowing into IDE code suggestion contexts must be sanitized. Implement output content policies that: (1) strip hidden Unicode characters (zero-width, RTL override, tag characters), (2) detect embedded instructions targeting AI code assistants, (3) validate code blocks against security patterns before they enter the suggestion pipeline, (4) never include shell commands in tool outputs without explicit [COMMAND] markers visible to the user. Reference: IDEsaster (Dec 2025), arXiv 2509.22040.
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 391)
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.
criticalQ3Localhost MCP Service HijackingMCP07-insecure-configT1557
Pattern "cors\s*\(\s*\)(?!.*origin)" matched in source_code: "cors()" (at position 5094)
MCP servers binding to localhost must: (1) validate the Host header to prevent DNS rebinding attacks (CVE-2025-49596), (2) set strict CORS origins instead of wildcard '*', (3) require authentication tokens even for local connections, (4) use random high ports instead of predictable defaults. For stdio transport, validate all input at the JSON-RPC level before processing. Consider using Docker MCP Gateway or similar container isolation.

highK16Unbounded Recursion / Missing Depth LimitsMCP07-insecure-configAML.T0054
Pattern "(readdir|walk|glob|find).*(?:recursi|deep|nested)(?!.*(?:depth|level|limit|max))" matched in source_code: "Find all files (recursi" (at position 4087)
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.
highQ14Concurrent MCP Server Race ConditionMCP07-insecure-configT1068
Pattern "(?:read|write|modify|delete).*(?:file|path|directory)(?!.*(?:lock|mutex|semaphore|flock|atomic))" matched in source_code: "readdirSync, existsSync, readFileSync, mkdirSync, writeFile" (at position 278)
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.
highN10Incomplete Handshake Denial of ServiceMCP07-insecure-configAML.T0054
Pattern "(?:createServer|listen)\s*\((?!.*(?:maxConnections|maxClients|connectionLimit|MAX_CONN))" matched in source_code: "listen(" (at position 41868)
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.
highN2JSON-RPC Notification FloodingMCP07-insecure-configAML.T0054
Pattern "(?:res\.write|response\.write|write_event|send_event)\s*\(.*(?:event|data|notification)(?!.*(?:queue\.length|buffer\.length|highWaterMark|MAX_))" matched in source_code: "res.write(`data: ${JSON.stringify(data" (at position 7770)
Implement bounded notification queues (recommended max size: 100 per subscription). Apply backpressure — when the queue is full, drop oldest notifications or pause the producer. Enforce per-client notification rate limits. JSON-RPC notifications have no response, so there is no natural flow control — servers MUST implement it explicitly.
highN7Progress Token Prediction and InjectionMCP07-insecure-configAML.T0054
Pattern "(?:sendProgress|notifications/progress)\s*\((?!.*(?:requestId|request_id|correlationId|tracking))" matched in source_code: "sendProgress(" (at position 9646)
Use unpredictable progress tokens (UUIDs or cryptographic random values). Validate that progress notification recipients match the original request sender. Do not accept progress tokens from untrusted input — a malicious server could inject fake progress notifications to manipulate client UI state or create timing side channels. Reference: MCP spec 2025-03-26 Section 5.1 (Progress).
highD1Known CVEs in DependenciesMCP08-dependency-vuln
Dependency "express@4.18.2" has known CVEs:
Update dependencies to versions that patch known CVEs. Run 'npm audit fix' or 'pip-audit' to identify and resolve vulnerable dependencies.
highK1Absent Structured LoggingMCP09-logging-monitoringAML.T0054
Pattern "console\.(log|warn|error)\s*\(.*(?:tool|request|handler|execute|invoke)" matched in source_code: "console.log('📡 Calling MCP tool" (at position 5506)
Implement structured logging (pino, winston, or equivalent) for all tool call handlers. Every tool invocation should log: timestamp, tool name, caller identity, parameters (sanitized), result status, and duration. Required by ISO 27001 A.8.15, CoSAI MCP-T12, and NIST AI RMF MEASURE 2.6.

mediumK17Missing Timeout or Circuit BreakerMCP07-insecure-configAML.T0054
Pattern "(?:query|execute|find|select|aggregate)\s*\((?!.*(?:timeout|maxTimeMS|statement_timeout|deadline|cancel))" matched in source_code: "find(" (at position 31667)
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.
