AI-suggested

If you cannot patch yet, restrict access to the jsonrpc interface to trusted users only and consider disabling or isolating the vulnerable service to prevent exploitation.

Description

radare2-mcp version 1.6.0 and earlier contains an os command injection vulnerability that allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands by bypassing the command filter through shell metacharacters in user-controlled input passed to r2_cmd_str(). Attackers can inject shell metacharacters through the jsonrpc interface parameters to achieve remote code execution on the host running radare2-mcp without requiring authentication.
