Lifecycle Timeline
6DescriptionCVE.org
A security flaw has been discovered in efforthye fast-filesystem-mcp up to 3.5.1. The affected element is the function handleGetDiskUsage of the file src/index.ts. Performing a manipulation results in command injection. The attack is possible to be carried out remotely. The exploit has been released to the public and may be used for attacks. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.
AnalysisAI
Command injection in efforthye fast-filesystem-mcp up to version 3.5.1 allows authenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary system commands via the handleGetDiskUsage function in src/index.ts. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 6.3 (medium) with publicly available exploit code and no vendor patch released despite early notification through issue tracking. Exploitation requires valid authentication credentials but carries low attack complexity.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability stems from improper input validation in the handleGetDiskUsage function, classified under CWE-77 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in a Command). The affected product is efforthye fast-filesystem-mcp, a fast filesystem implementation accessed via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). The command injection occurs when user-supplied input is concatenated into shell commands without proper escaping or parameterization. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L) indicates network-accessible attack surface with low attack complexity, but requires authenticated user privileges (PR:L). The E:P flag in the environmental metrics confirms public exploit availability.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. The project maintainer was notified early via GitHub issue (https://github.com/efforthye/fast-filesystem-mcp/issues/15) but has not responded with a fix. Organizations currently deploying fast-filesystem-mcp should immediately implement access controls to restrict usage to trusted, authenticated users only. Monitor the official GitHub repository (https://github.com/efforthye/fast-filesystem-mcp/) for security updates. As an interim mitigation, disable or restrict access to the handleGetDiskUsage endpoint if not operationally required, or implement web application firewall rules to detect and block command injection patterns in requests. Consider evaluating alternative filesystem implementations with active security maintenance. Users should avoid updating to versions 3.5.1 or earlier until a patched release becomes available.
