criticalQ13MCP Bridge Package Supply Chain AttackMCP10-supply-chainAML.T0054
Pattern "["']@modelcontextprotocol/sdk["']\s*:\s*["'](?:\^|~|\*|latest)" matched in source_code: ""@modelcontextprotocol/sdk": "^" (at position 11141)
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.
criticalJ2Git Argument InjectionMCP03-command-injectionAML.T0054
Pattern "--upload-pack|--receive-pack|--exec" matched in source_code: "--exec" (at position 4556)
Always terminate git argument lists with '--' before user-supplied paths. Never allow git_init on directories outside the configured workspace. Validate all git arguments against an allowlist. Block core.* config overrides in user-controlled inputs. See CVE-2025-68143/68144/68145 for the full attack chain.
highD1Known CVEs in DependenciesMCP08-dependency-vuln
Dependency "axios@1.11.0" has known CVEs:
Update dependencies to versions that patch known CVEs. Run 'npm audit fix' or 'pip-audit' to identify and resolve vulnerable dependencies.
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 11564)
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.
highL8Version Rollback / Downgrade AttackMCP10-supply-chainAML.T0017
Pattern "["'](?:overrides|resolutions|pnpm\.overrides)["']\s*:\s*\{[^}]*["'][\w@/-]+["']\s*:\s*["'](?:0\.|1\.0|<=|<\d)" matched in source_code: ""overrides": {
"pyodide": "0." (at position 11767)
Use 'npm ci' (not 'npm install') in CI to enforce lockfile integrity. Enable npm audit signatures to verify package provenance. Pin all direct dependencies to exact versions. Use SLSA provenance verification for critical dependencies. Monitor lockfile changes in pull requests with automated diff review. Never use --force or --legacy-peer-deps in production CI.
highK18Cross-Trust-Boundary Data Flow in Tool ResponseMCP04-data-exfiltrationAML.T0054
Pattern "(?:process\.env|os\.environ|config|settings).*(?:fetch|axios|http|post|send|webhook)" matched in source_code: "CONFIGS = exports.isInstanceContext = exports.validateInstanceContext = exports.N8NDocumentationMCPServer = exports.ConsoleManager = exports.SingleSessionHTTP" (at position 263)
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.
highK16Unbounded Recursion / Missing Depth LimitsMCP07-insecure-configAML.T0054
Pattern "(invoke|call|execute)[_\s-]?(?:tool|agent|self)(?!.*(?:depth|level|limit|max[_\s-]?(?:depth|recursi|iter|call)|count))" matched in source_code: "CallTool" (at position 2910)
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.
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.
