5 Critical Attack Vectors in Unshielded MCP Servers

Why standard MCP implementations without schema enforcement put host workstations and cloud databases at risk.

1. Arbitrary Shell Escape

When an MCP tool passes string arguments to child_process.exec() or os.system() without strict alphanumeric sanitization, an injected prompt can append command chains (; rm -rf /, curl attacker.com).

Severity: Critical (CVSS 9.8)

2. Path Traversal & Escaping

Filesystem MCP tools with weak directory confinement allow agents to navigate outside allowed sandbox boundaries using ../../etc/passwd or ~/.ssh/id_rsa.

Severity: High (CVSS 8.4)

3. Silent Credential Exfiltration

Malicious tools or hijacked context prompts silently read process environment variables (OPENAI_API_KEY, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY) and broadcast them via outbound webhooks.

Severity: High (CVSS 8.1)

4. Schema Type Inconsistency

Missing additionalProperties: false and unbounded parameter arrays cause schema mismatch crashes in Claude Desktop and infinite loop retries in Cursor agent flows.

Severity: Medium (CVSS 5.3)

5. Unmetered DoS Loops

Tools without strict execution timeouts (max 5,000ms) or rate limiters lock the agent stdio channel, freezing the entire IDE window indefinitely.

Severity: Medium (CVSS 4.8)
