AI-suggested
European organizations should immediately audit their use of the '@akoskm/create-mcp-server-stdio' package and identify any deployments running versions prior to 0.0.13. The primary mitigation is to upgrade to version 0.0.13 or later, which contains the fix for this vulnerability. If upgrading is not immediately feasible, organizations should implement input validation and sanitization on any user inputs that interact with the 'which-app-on-port' tool or any similar command execution functionality. Restricting network access to MCP servers to trusted hosts and employing application-layer firewalls can reduce exposure. Additionally, monitoring and logging command execution attempts and anomalous activities on affected servers can help detect exploitation attempts. Organizations should also review their incident response plans to include scenarios involving OS command injection attacks and ensure timely patch management processes are in place to prevent exploitation.
Description
@akoskm/create-mcp-server-stdio is an MCP server starter kit that uses the StdioServerTransport. Prior to version 0.0.13, the MCP Server is written in a way that is vulnerable to command injection vulnerability attacks as part of some of its MCP Server tool definition and implementation. The MCP Server exposes the tool `which-app-on-port` which relies on Node.js child process API `exec` which is an unsafe and vulnerable API if concatenated with untrusted user input. Version 0.0.13 contains a fix for the issue.
