Network-reachable MCP endpoint with no auth required per CVSS 4.0 source; path traversal yields only file reads, so C:L and I:N/A:N with unchanged scope.

Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
A security vulnerability has been detected in danielpopamd linkedin-ads-mcp 1.0.0. Affected by this vulnerability is the function fs.readFileSync of the file src/tools/campaign-management.ts of the component Media Upload. Such manipulation of the argument filePath leads to path traversal. The attack may be performed from remote. The exploit has been disclosed publicly 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 linkedin-ads-mcp 1.0.0 allows remote unauthenticated callers to read arbitrary files from the server's filesystem. The vulnerability exists in the Media Upload component where the filePath argument is passed directly to Node.js fs.readFileSync without sanitization, enabling directory traversal sequences to escape the intended media directory. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the attacker to be able to invoke the linkedin-ads-mcp Media Upload tool, which means they must have access to an MCP client session connected to the running server - this is the primary limiting factor. … 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:N/UI:N/VC:L) and the supplemental E:P (proof-of-concept) modifier place this at 5.5, reflecting a straightforward, low-complexity network path traversal with limited confidentiality impact and no integrity or availability impact. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker with access to an MCP client connected to an exposed linkedin-ads-mcp instance crafts a media upload tool call with a `filePath` value such as `../../../../etc/passwd` or `../../../.env`. The server's `fs.readFileSync` resolves the path relative to the working directory and returns the file contents to the caller. … |
| Remediation | No vendor-released patch has been identified at time of analysis; the maintainer has not responded to the disclosure. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
