CVE-2026-19039: Command Injection in Kino-Kafkaesque ssh-mcp-server
A vulnerability identified as CVE-2026-19039 affects the Kino-Kafkaesque ssh-mcp-server up to a specific commit. It involves the ssh_exec function in the SSH Command Handler component, where manipulation of host or username arguments can lead to command injection. The vulnerability requires local access to exploit. The maintainers note that the server is intended as a local trusted tool, implying that callers already have significant execution privileges. The product uses a rolling release model, so exact affected versions are not specified. The CVSS score is 5.3, indicating a low severity level.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-19039 is a command injection vulnerability in the ssh_exec function of the src/index.ts file in the Kino-Kafkaesque ssh-mcp-server. The flaw arises from improper handling of the host and username arguments, allowing an attacker with local access to inject commands. The vulnerability is mitigated by the design assumption that the server is a local trusted tool, and users invoking it already possess meaningful execution rights. Due to the rolling release strategy, no fixed or affected versions are explicitly identified. No known exploits are reported in the wild.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation could allow a local attacker to execute arbitrary commands via manipulated host or username arguments, potentially leading to confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts. However, since the server is intended for local trusted use and callers already have execution capabilities, the practical impact is limited. The CVSS score of 5.3 reflects a low severity with local attack vector and low complexity.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or fix is currently available or specified. Given the product's rolling release model and the maintainer's note on the intended threat model, no immediate action may be required beyond ensuring that only trusted local users have access to the ssh-mcp-server. Monitor vendor advisories for any updates or fixes. Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance.
