3DescriptionCVE.org
A flaw has been found in augmnt augments-mcp-server 7.1.0. This issue affects the function scanProjectDeps of the file src/tools/v4/scan-project-deps.ts of the component scan_project_deps. Executing a manipulation of the argument packageJsonPath can lead to path traversal. The attack can only be executed locally. The exploit has been published and may be used. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.
AnalysisAI
Path traversal in augmnt augments-mcp-server 7.1.0 allows a local low-privileged attacker to read arbitrary files outside the intended project directory by manipulating the packageJsonPath argument passed to the scanProjectDeps function. The vulnerability is limited to confidentiality impact (VC:L) with no integrity or availability effect, and a proof-of-concept has been publicly disclosed via a GitHub issue. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires local access to the machine running augments-mcp-server and the ability to invoke the scan_project_deps MCP tool with a manipulated packageJsonPath argument - this corresponds to at minimum a low-privileged local account (PR:L, AV:L per CVSS 4.0). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The overall real-world risk is low. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | A low-privileged local user or malicious script running on the same workstation as an active augments-mcp-server instance invokes the scan_project_deps MCP tool with a crafted packageJsonPath value such as '../../../../etc/shadow' or a path pointing to SSH private keys. The server processes the unsanitized path and returns the contents of the target file, disclosing sensitive data accessible to the server process's user. … |
| Remediation | No vendor-released patch has been identified at time of analysis - the project was informed via responsible disclosure but has not responded. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
