criticalC1Command InjectionMCP03-command-injectionAML.T0054
Pattern "`[^`]+`" matched in source_code: "`Read-only mode: ${config.readOnlyMode ? 'ENABLED' : 'DISABLED'} (${configSource})`" (at position 840)
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.
criticalQ13MCP Bridge Package Supply Chain AttackMCP10-supply-chainAML.T0054
Pattern "["']@modelcontextprotocol/sdk["']\s*:\s*["'](?:\^|~|\*|latest)" matched in source_code: ""@modelcontextprotocol/sdk": "^" (at position 11227)
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: "Express server" (at position 73)
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.

highI15Transport Session SecurityMCP07-insecure-configAML.T0054
Pattern "(http://).*(/message/|/mcp/|/sse)" matched in source_code: "http://localhost:${port}/sse" (at position 2660)
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.
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 runStdioServer(client: DeployHQClient): Promise<void> {
const server = createMCPServer(" (at position 9350)
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.
highN10Incomplete Handshake Denial of ServiceMCP07-insecure-configAML.T0054
Pattern "(?:createServer|listen)\s*\((?!.*(?:maxConnections|maxClients|connectionLimit|MAX_CONN))" matched in source_code: "listen(" (at position 2494)
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.
highD1Known CVEs in DependenciesMCP08-dependency-vuln
Dependency "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.0.4" 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.
