CVE-2026-7149: Path Traversal in dexhunter kaggle-mcp
A vulnerability has been found in dexhunter kaggle-mcp up to 406127ffcb2b91b8c10e20e6c2ca787fbc1dc92d. This vulnerability affects the function prepare_kaggle_dataset of the file src/kaggle_mcp/server.py. The manipulation of the argument competition_id leads to path traversal. The attack is possible to be carried out remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. This product adopts a rolling release strategy to maintain continuous delivery. Therefore, version details for affected or updated releases cannot be specified. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability in dexhunter kaggle-mcp up to commit 406127ffcb2b91b8c10e20e6c2ca787fbc1dc92d allows remote attackers to perform path traversal via the competition_id parameter in the prepare_kaggle_dataset function within src/kaggle_mcp/server.py. This can lead to unauthorized access to files outside the intended directory. The vulnerability is confirmed public but the vendor has not yet responded or issued a patch. The rolling release strategy complicates version-specific identification of affected or fixed releases.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows remote attackers to manipulate file paths, potentially accessing or reading unauthorized files on the server. The vulnerability requires no privileges or user interaction and has a medium severity impact (CVSS 6.9). There are no confirmed exploits in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Since the vendor has not responded or released a fix, users should consider implementing manual input validation or sanitization on the competition_id parameter to prevent path traversal until an official fix is available.
