criticalC1Command InjectionMCP03-command-injectionAML.T0054
Pattern "`[^`]+`" matched in source_code: "`${API_BASE}${path}`" (at position 673)
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.CRONALERT_API_KEY" (at position 303)
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.
criticalQ13MCP Bridge Package Supply Chain AttackMCP10-supply-chainAML.T0054
Pattern "["']@modelcontextprotocol/sdk["']\s*:\s*["'](?:\^|~|\*|latest)" matched in source_code: ""@modelcontextprotocol/sdk": "^" (at position 13805)
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.
criticalQ8Cross-Protocol Authentication ConfusionMCP07-insecure-configT1550
Pattern "(?:oauth|bearer).{0,100}(?:api[_\s-]?key|x-api-key|apiKey)" matched in source_code: "Bearer ${apiKey" (at position 829)
MCP servers supporting multiple protocols must enforce authentication independently per protocol. Never reuse OAuth tokens across protocol boundaries. Implement protocol-specific middleware with explicit auth checks on every path. Audit auth coverage for all transport types (stdio, SSE, Streamable HTTP, REST). Reference: CVE-2025-6514 demonstrated that auth library vulnerabilities in MCP's OAuth layer cascade to all protocols sharing the same auth middleware.

highC3Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)MCP04-data-exfiltrationAML.T0057
Pattern "\bfetch\s*\(\s*(?:req|request|input|param|params|args|url|uri|href|link|target|destination|endpoint|host|address|resource|src|source|location|proxy|callback|userUrl|user_url|externalUrl|external_url|redirectUrl|redirect_url)" matched in source_code: "fetch(url" (at position 721)
Validate ALL user-supplied URLs before making HTTP requests:
1. Parse the URL and check the hostname against an explicit allowlist of permitted domains.
2. Block requests to RFC 1918 private ranges: 10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, 192.168.0.0/16.
3. Block loopback (127.0.0.0/8), link-local (169.254.0.0/16), and IPv6 equivalents.
4. Block file:// and other non-http(s) protocols explicitly.
5. Disable automatic redirect following, or re-validate each redirect destination.
6. In cloud environments: block requests to IMDS endpoints (169.254.169.254,
metadata.google.internal) at both the application AND network layer.
Example (Node.js): Use the `ssrf-req-filter` package or implement URL validation
against an allowlist before calling fetch/axios/got.
highO8Timing-Based Covert ChannelMCP04-data-exfiltrationAML.T0057
Pattern "(?:delay|sleep|timeout|interval)\s*[:=]\s*(?:[^;]*(?:secret|token|password|credential|key|env))" matched in source_code: "timeout: z.number().int().min(1).max(120).optional().default(30).describe("Request timeout in seconds (1-120, default 30, http type only)"),
checkInterval: z.number().int().min(30).max(86400).optional().default(180).describe("Check interval in seconds (default 180, auto-set from plan)"),

headers: z.string().max(4096).optional().describe("Custom request headers as JSON string, e.g. '{\"Authorization\": \"Bearer token" (at position 3420)
Remove all code that calculates sleep/delay durations from application data, secrets, or any variable-length content. Tool response times should be constant or determined only by legitimate processing time. If rate limiting is needed, use fixed intervals not derived from data values. Monitor for anomalous response time patterns that could indicate timing-based exfiltration.

Pattern "(?:fetch|axios|got|request|urllib|httpx|http\.get|http\.post)\s*\((?!.*(?:timeout|signal|AbortSignal|deadline|cancel))" matched in source_code: "Request(" (at position 554)
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.

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.
