criticalC1Command InjectionMCP03-command-injectionAML.T0054
Pattern "exec\s*\(" matched in source_code: "exec(" (at position 59134)
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.
criticalJ7OpenAPI Specification Field InjectionMCP03-command-injectionAML.T0054
Pattern "(?:summary|operationId|description).*\$\{|`.*(?:summary|operationId)" matched in source_code: "summary: `${intent.primaryIntent}: ${" (at position 33539)
Sanitize all OpenAPI specification fields before using them in code generation or template interpolation. Treat summary, description, operationId, and extension fields as untrusted input. Use parameterized templates instead of string interpolation. See CVE-2026-22785/23947.
criticalL9CI/CD Secret Exfiltration PatternsMCP07-insecure-configAML.T0057
Pattern "(?:fetch|axios|request|http\.post|urllib|requests\.post).*(?:process\.env|os\.environ|env\[)" matched in source_code: "REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS = parseInt(process.env[" (at position 1385)
Never print, log, or transmit CI environment variables containing secrets. Use GitHub Actions '::add-mask::' to prevent accidental secret exposure in logs. Audit all third-party Actions for secret access patterns. Use OIDC tokens instead of long-lived secrets where possible. Restrict secret access to specific workflow jobs and steps. Monitor CI logs for base64-encoded strings.
criticalQ13MCP Bridge Package Supply Chain AttackMCP10-supply-chainAML.T0054
Pattern "["']@modelcontextprotocol/sdk["']\s*:\s*["'](?:\^|~|\*|latest)" matched in source_code: ""@modelcontextprotocol/sdk": "^" (at position 76110)
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 "(?:express|fastify|koa|hono).*(?:listen|server)(?!.*(?:host[_\s]?(?:check|valid|verify)|helmet))" matched in source_code: "Fastify HTTP Server" (at position 55)
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.
criticalQ9Agentic Workflow DAG ManipulationMCP05-privilege-escalationAML.T0058
Pattern "(?:graph|workflow|pipeline|dag).*(?:modify|update|mutate|alter|change)" matched in source_code: "pipeline with streaming progress update" (at position 35379)
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).

highN10Incomplete Handshake Denial of ServiceMCP07-insecure-configAML.T0054
Pattern "(?:createServer|listen)\s*\((?!.*(?:maxConnections|maxClients|connectionLimit|MAX_CONN))" matched in source_code: "createServer(" (at position 1735)
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.
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 modelsHandler(request, reply) {
try {
const ollamaClient = getOllamaClient();
const models = await ollamaClient.listModels(" (at position 6931)
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 "fastify@4.28.1" has known CVEs:
Update dependencies to versions that patch known CVEs. Run 'npm audit fix' or 'pip-audit' to identify and resolve vulnerable dependencies.
highD1Known CVEs in DependenciesMCP08-dependency-vuln
Dependency "simple-git@3.27.0" has known CVEs:
Update dependencies to versions that patch known CVEs. Run 'npm audit fix' or 'pip-audit' to identify and resolve vulnerable dependencies.
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: "executeStage('critique', () => critiqueVariants(variantData" (at position 29176)
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.
highK18Cross-Trust-Boundary Data Flow in Tool ResponseMCP04-data-exfiltrationAML.T0054
Pattern "(?:process\.env|os\.environ|config|settings).*(?:fetch|axios|http|post|send|webhook)" matched in source_code: "process.env['OLLAMA_BASE_URL'] ?? 'http" (at position 1059)
Implement data flow taint tracking: tag data from sensitive sources (databases, credentials, files) and prevent it from flowing to external sinks (HTTP, webhooks, email) without explicit sanitization/redaction. Apply data classification and enforce boundary controls per trust level. Required by ISO 27001 A.5.14 and CoSAI MCP-T5.
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.

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 39132)
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.
mediumK20Insufficient Audit Context in LoggingMCP09-logging-monitoringAML.T0054
Pattern "logger\.(info|warn|error)\s*\(.*(?:tool|request|handle|invoke)(?!.*(?:requestId|correlationId|traceId|spanId|agent[_\s-]?id|user[_\s-]?id))" matched in source_code: "logger.warn({ requested: originalModel, using: this.config.model, available: models }, 'Request" (at position 42929)
Use structured logging that includes all five ISO 27001 A.8.15 fields: (1) WHO — agent/user identity, (2) WHAT — tool name and operation, (3) WHEN — ISO 8601 timestamp, (4) WHERE — server ID and correlation ID, (5) OUTCOME — success/failure and result summary. Replace console.log with structured loggers (pino, winston). Add correlation IDs for request tracing across multi-agent chains.
