Vulnerability Assessment
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires the @rog0x/mcp-docker-tools MCP server (v1.0.1) to be deployed and an operator or AI agent to invoke the affected Docker image-listing capability (reflected by UI:R), and the attacker must control data that reaches the handleImageList function (e.g., a crafted image name or registry/response value). The CVSS AC:H indicates non-trivial, specific conditions must be met rather than a default-path trigger; however, the exact triggering mechanism is not described in the available sources. Limiting factors that reduce realistic risk: mandatory user/operator interaction, the very narrow installed base of this package, and the absence of a confirmed working exploit. No vendor-stated non-default configuration requirement is documented in the evidence. |
| Impact | The input provides a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5 (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), which is severity-high but carries two meaningful dampeners: high attack complexity (AC:H) and required user interaction (UI:R). PR:N indicates the vulnerable tool itself enforces no authentication, so exploitation is unauthenticated against the component, but it still depends on an operator (or AI agent) invoking the affected tool. No EPSS probability is supplied, so likelihood of opportunistic exploitation cannot be quantified. The CVE is NOT in CISA KEV and there is no confirmed PoC line in the input; a GitHub issue reference exists (and notably points at a sibling project, mcp-git-tools, not mcp-docker-tools), but it is not verified as working exploit code. No SSVC technical-impact/automatable breakdown is provided beyond the vendor priority 'this_week'. Weighing these signals together, this reads as a genuine code-execution flaw but in a very low-footprint npm package, so real-world aggregate risk is modest despite the 'RCE' label - closer to a targeted/supply-chain concern for the few consumers of this specific package than a widespread emergency. Missing data (EPSS absent, no KEV, PoC unverified, CWE N/A) should be treated as unknowns, not as evidence of safety. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker influences data that flows into the Docker image-listing routine - for example a crafted image name or registry response - so that when an operator or AI agent invokes the image-list tool exposed by the MCP server, attacker-controlled input reaches handleImageList and executes arbitrary commands on the host running the server. A GitHub issue reference exists but is not verified as working exploit code, and the CVSS AC:H/UI:R metrics indicate the attack requires both specific conditions and an operator action rather than a one-shot remote hit. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 23, 2026
Remote code execution in @rog0x/mcp-docker-tools 1.0.1 is possible when the MCP server is deployed and an operator or AI agent invokes the Docker image-listing path, allowing attacker-controlled data supplied to handleImageList to reach code execution. The CVSS 3.1 score is 7.5 (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), so exploitation is unauthenticated from the network but requires user interaction and non-trivial conditions. No confirmed working exploit or CISA KEV entry is present in the available data; the decision label is this_week.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch or fixed version is identified in the available data for @rog0x/mcp-docker-tools 1.0.1. Until a vendor fix is published, restrict exposure by disabling or removing the Docker image-listing tool from the MCP server configuration if it is not required, and limit MCP server access to trusted networks and trusted operators; the trade-off is loss of image-listing functionality and reduced operational convenience. Run the server with the least Docker privileges needed and avoid passing untrusted image names or registry responses into the tool; this reduces the attack surface but may break legitimate Docker management workflows. Monitor the npm package page and the advisory URL for a patched release, and treat any invocation path that lets untrusted data reach handleImageList as unsafe.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The affected component is an npm-distributed Model Context Protocol server that exposes Docker-related tools to MCP clients and AI agents; version 1.0.1 contains the handleImageList function used for Docker image listing. The available sources do not describe the exact trigger, memory-safety mechanism, or command-construction path, and no CWE is assigned, so the root-cause class cannot be stated more precisely than arbitrary code execution through attacker-influenced data reaching that handler. The assessed vector (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R) indicates a network-reachable, unauthenticated attack that still depends on an operator or agent invoking the capability and on specific non-default conditions; the assessment notes that a crafted image name or registry/response value is the plausible data path, while emphasizing that mandatory interaction, the narrow installed base, and the absence of a confirmed working exploit reduce realistic risk.

Executive ViewAI
CVE-2026-106765 is a high-severity remote code execution vulnerability in @rog0x/mcp-docker-tools 1.0.1, affecting deployments where operators or AI agents invoke Docker image-listing features. While no public exploit or active exploitation has been identified, successful exploitation could grant attackers full control of the MCP server and potentially impact sensitive container management workflows. Security leadership should prioritize this for remediation due to the criticality of container infrastructure and the potential for lateral movement.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations include limiting network exposure of the MCP server, restricting invocation of the Docker image-listing path to trusted users only, and implementing input validation on data reaching handleImageList.
