criticalC1Command InjectionMCP03-command-injectionAML.T0054
Pattern "`[^`]+`" matched in source_code: "`Cleaned up ${count} expired session(s)`" (at position 1765)
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.
criticalK9Dangerous Post-Install HooksMCP10-supply-chainAML.T0054
Pattern "["'](?:postinstall|preinstall|install)["']\s*:\s*["'][^"']*(?:curl|wget|node\s|python|bash|sh\s|powershell)" matched in source_code: ""postinstall": "node " (at position 8246)
Remove network requests, code execution, and shell commands from install hooks. Post-install scripts should only run build/compile steps (node-gyp, tsc). Use --ignore-scripts flag during CI installations and audit all install hooks before allowing. Required by OWASP ASI04 and CoSAI MCP-T11.
criticalQ13MCP Bridge Package Supply Chain AttackMCP10-supply-chainAML.T0054
Pattern "(?:mcp|fastmcp|langchain-mcp|llama-index-mcp)(?:>=|~=|==)?(?!\d)" matched in source_code: "FastMCP" (at position 41)
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.
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: "addTool" (at position 939)
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.
highK13Unsanitized Tool OutputMCP02-tool-poisoningAML.T0054
Pattern "(?:fetch|axios|requests?\.get|http\.get).*(?:return|respond|result|body|text|data)(?!.*(?:sanitize|escape|encode|strip|validate|parse|extract))" matched in source_code: "Fetch aborted: AI client disconnected", type: "text" (at position 6549)
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.
highK19Missing Runtime Sandbox EnforcementMCP07-insecure-configAML.T0054
Pattern "(run[_\s-]?as[_\s-]?root|EUID.*0|uid.*0)(?!.*(?:drop|setuid|seteuid|change.?user))" matched in source_code: "uid": "^10.0.0" (at position 9689)
Run MCP servers in sandboxed containers with: (1) No --privileged flag, (2) Minimal Linux capabilities (drop ALL, add only needed), (3) Read-only root filesystem, (4) Non-root user, (5) Seccomp/AppArmor profiles enabled, (6) No host mounts except data volumes. CoSAI warns containers alone are insufficient — add seccomp profiles. Required by CoSAI MCP-T8 and ISO 27001 A.8.22.
highK4Missing Human Confirmation for Destructive OpsMCP06-excessive-permissionsAML.T0054
Pattern "(delete|remove|drop|truncate|destroy|purge|wipe|erase).*(?:execute|run|perform|call)(?!.*(?:confirm|approve|prompt|ask|verify|consent))" matched in source_code: "delete(call" (at position 4908)
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.
highD1Known CVEs in DependenciesMCP08-dependency-vuln
Dependency "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.17.2" has known CVEs:
Update dependencies to versions that patch known CVEs. Run 'npm audit fix' or 'pip-audit' to identify and resolve vulnerable dependencies.
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.
