criticalC1Command InjectionMCP03-command-injectionAML.T0054
Pattern "child_process" matched in source_code: "child_process" (at position 114)
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.
criticalG7DNS-Based Data Exfiltration ChannelMCP04-data-exfiltrationAML.T0040
Pattern "(?:\$\{|\+|concat|format).*\.(?:[a-z0-9-]{3,}\.){1,3}[a-z]{2,6}['"`]" matched in source_code: "${tsharkPath} -r "${tempPcap}" -T json -e frame.number -e ip.src -e ip.dst -e tcp.srcport -e tcp.dstport -e tcp.flags -e frame.time -e http.request.method -e http.response.code`" (at position 2553)
Remove all dynamic DNS queries where subdomain content is derived from application data, user input, or system information. DNS exfiltration channels are invisible to most monitoring tools and operate even through strict HTTP firewalls.
If DNS-based service discovery is required, use a static list of known-good hostnames. Never construct DNS query hostnames by concatenating or encoding application data. Deploy DNS logging (e.g., passive DNS, BIND query logs) and alert on high-entropy subdomain queries.
criticalJ7OpenAPI Specification Field InjectionMCP03-command-injectionAML.T0054
Pattern "(?:summary|operationId|description).*\$\{|`.*(?:summary|operationId)" matched in source_code: "`Capturing summary" (at position 4438)
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.
criticalL7Transitive MCP Server DelegationMCP06-excessive-permissionsAML.T0054
Pattern "(?:connect|initialize).*(?:mcp|modelcontextprotocol).*(?:server|endpoint|url)" matched in source_code: "Initialize MCP server" (at position 1575)
MCP servers MUST NOT create client connections to other MCP servers without explicit user disclosure. If delegation is required, declare all downstream servers in the server's capabilities and tool descriptions. Never forward user credentials to sub-servers. Implement a trust boundary between the approved server and any delegated servers. Log all transitive delegations for audit.
criticalQ13MCP Bridge Package Supply Chain AttackMCP10-supply-chainAML.T0054
Pattern "["']@modelcontextprotocol/sdk["']\s*:\s*["'](?:\^|~|\*|latest)" matched in source_code: ""@modelcontextprotocol/sdk": "^" (at position 26274)
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.
highK18Cross-Trust-Boundary Data Flow in Tool ResponseMCP04-data-exfiltrationAML.T0054
Pattern "(?:webhook|http|fetch|axios|post|send|email).*(?:readFile|read_file|query|select|getSecret|credential|password)" matched in source_code: "HTTP Basic Auth', username, password" (at position 17217)
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.
highQ14Concurrent MCP Server Race ConditionMCP07-insecure-configT1068
Pattern "(?:fs\.(?:readFile|writeFile|unlink|rename|chmod))(?!.*(?:lock|atomic|exclusive))" matched in source_code: "fs.unlink" (at position 3415)
MCP servers sharing filesystem or database backends with other servers must implement proper concurrency controls. Use: (1) file locking (flock/lockfile) for filesystem operations, (2) database transactions for all read-modify-write sequences, (3) atomic file operations (O_EXCL, mkdtemp) instead of check-then-create, (4) lstat() to detect symlinks before following (CVE-2025-53109). Never assume exclusive access to shared resources — other MCP servers may be operating concurrently.
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 URLhaus data" (at position 9547)
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.
highD1Known CVEs in DependenciesMCP08-dependency-vuln
Dependency "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.8.0" has known CVEs:
Update dependencies to versions that patch known CVEs. Run 'npm audit fix' or 'pip-audit' to identify and resolve vulnerable dependencies.
highD1Known CVEs in DependenciesMCP08-dependency-vuln
Dependency "axios@1.8.4" has known CVEs:
Update dependencies to versions that patch known CVEs. Run 'npm audit fix' or 'pip-audit' to identify and resolve vulnerable dependencies.
highC3Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)MCP04-data-exfiltrationAML.T0057
Pattern "\baxios\.(?:get|post|put|delete|patch|head|options|request)\s*\(\s*(?:req|request|input|param|params|args|url|uri|href|link|target|destination|endpoint|host|address|resource|src|source|proxy)" matched in source_code: "axios.get(url" (at position 8588)
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.
mediumK17Missing Timeout or Circuit BreakerMCP07-insecure-configAML.T0054
Pattern "(?:fetch|axios\.(?:get|post|put|delete))\s*\([^)]*\)(?!.*(?:timeout|signal))" matched in source_code: "axios.get(urlhausUrl)" (at position 8588)
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.
