criticalQ13MCP Bridge Package Supply Chain AttackMCP10-supply-chainAML.T0054
Pattern "["']@modelcontextprotocol/sdk["']\s*:\s*["'](?:\^|~|\*|latest)" matched in source_code: ""@modelcontextprotocol/sdk": "^" (at position 4493)
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.

highI15Transport Session SecurityMCP07-insecure-configAML.T0054
Pattern "(http://).*(/message/|/mcp/|/sse)" matched in source_code: "http://localhost:${port}/sse" (at position 691)
Use HTTPS for all MCP Streamable HTTP endpoints. Generate cryptographically random session IDs (min 128 bits entropy). Do not accept session IDs from user input (CVE-2025-6515). Validate TLS certificates — do not disable certificate verification.
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 1220)
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.
highK16Unbounded Recursion / Missing Depth LimitsMCP07-insecure-configAML.T0054
Pattern "function\s+(\w+).*\{[^}]*\1\s*\((?!.*(?:depth|level|limit|max|count|recursi))" matched in source_code: "function startServer(): Promise<void> {
log.info('Starting MCP Appium MCP Server...');
try {
if (useHttpStream) {
server.start(" (at position 333)
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.
highD1Known CVEs in DependenciesMCP08-dependency-vuln
Dependency "@appium/support@7.0.2" has known CVEs:
Update dependencies to versions that patch known CVEs. Run 'npm audit fix' or 'pip-audit' to identify and resolve vulnerable dependencies.

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 259)
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.

Follow the MCP specification for server metadata. Include server name, version, and protocol version. Provide descriptions for all tools and parameters.
