DescriptionCVE.org

A vulnerability has been found in arben-adm mcp-sequential-thinking up to 0.5.0. Impacted is the function import_session/export_session of the file mcp_sequential_thinking/server.py of the component Import Session/Export Session. Such manipulation of the argument file_path leads to path traversal. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. Upgrading to version 0.6.0 is recommended to address this issue. The name of the patch is 2fad3ee8ab1d0868b6c1afb5895bc336a10e5267. Upgrading the affected component is recommended.

AnalysisAI

Path traversal in arben-adm mcp-sequential-thinking versions up to and including 0.5.0 allows remote low-privileged attackers to read or write arbitrary files on the server by supplying unsanitized path sequences to the import_session and export_session functions in server.py. A publicly disclosed proof-of-concept exists (GitHub issue #17), and the fix is available in v0.6.0 via commit 2fad3ee8. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires low-privilege authenticated access to the mcp-sequential-thinking MCP server - the CVSS 4.0 vector specifies PR:L, meaning an account or valid session credential is needed; unauthenticated remote exploitation is not supported by the available data. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P) presents a moderately scored but concretely exploitable vulnerability: network-reachable, low authentication barrier, no attack complexity or special conditions, and a publicly available exploit. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Upgrade mcp-sequential-thinking to version 0.6.0 immediately; the patched release is available at https://github.com/arben-adm/mcp-sequential-thinking/releases/tag/v0.6.0 and corresponds to fix commit 2fad3ee8ab1d0868b6c1afb5895bc336a10e5267 (PR #18 at https://github.com/arben-adm/mcp-sequential-thinking/pull/18). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
