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 6697)
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.
criticalC1Command InjectionMCP03-command-injectionAML.T0054
Pattern "`[^`]+`" matched in source_code: "`Source-${index}.txt`" (at position 2412)
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.
criticalK14Agent Credential Propagation via Shared StateMCP05-privilege-escalationAML.T0054
Pattern "(process\.env|os\.environ|setenv|putenv).*(?:token|credential|api[_\s-]?key|secret|password)" matched in source_code: "process.env.AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID && process.env.AWS_SECRET" (at position 686)
Never write credentials to shared agent state. Use credential vaults (HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager) with per-agent scoped access. Implement OAuth token exchange (RFC 8693) for cross-agent authorization. Redact credentials from all agent outputs before writing to shared memory. Required by OWASP ASI03/ASI07 and MAESTRO L7.
criticalP5Secrets Exposed in Container Build LayersMCP07-insecure-configT1552.001
Pattern "ADD\s+.*(?:\.env|credentials|secret|private[_\-]?key|\.pem|\.p12|\.pfx|\.keystore)\s" matched in source_code: "add explicit credentials " (at position 559)
Never pass secrets via Dockerfile ARG/ENV or COPY. Use Docker BuildKit secrets (--secret flag) for build-time secrets, which are not persisted in image layers. For runtime secrets, use mounted Kubernetes Secrets (not ConfigMaps), environment variables sourced from Secret objects, or external secrets managers (Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, Doppler). Enable encryption at rest for Kubernetes etcd. Use multi-stage builds to prevent secret leakage in intermediate layers.

highJ5Tool Output Poisoning PatternsMCP01-prompt-injectionAML.T0054
[AST — J5] Catch block at L201 interpolates error variable "error" into response. If the error originates from attacker-controlled input (e.g., malformed data), the error message becomes an injection vector into the AI's context.
Never include user input or LLM manipulation directives in error messages or tool responses. Use structured error codes.
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 runServer() {
const transport = new StdioServerTransport();
await server.connect(transport);
console.error(" (at position 6286)
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 "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.7.0" has known CVEs:
Update dependencies to versions that patch known CVEs. Run 'npm audit fix' or 'pip-audit' to identify and resolve vulnerable dependencies.

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.
