DescriptionCVE.org

MCPVault is a lightweight Model Context Protocol server for safe access to files in an Obsidian vault. Prior to 0.11.4, PathFilter in src/pathfilter.ts compiles restricted-directory patterns case-sensitively and compares paths without canonicalizing filesystem-equivalent segment names. On case-insensitive macOS and Windows filesystems, case variants of .git, .obsidian, or node_modules pass both isAllowed() and isAllowedForListing() even though the operating system opens the restricted directory, and Windows trailing dots or spaces provide the same bypass. An attacker who influences a path selected by an AI agent can use the bypass in read, write, move, search, or listing operations to expose or modify sensitive repository and Obsidian metadata. Vault-root .. containment is not affected. This issue is fixed in version 0.11.4.

AnalysisAI

MCPVault, a lightweight Model Context Protocol server that exposes Obsidian vault files to AI agents, fails to block access to restricted directories such as .git, .obsidian, and node_modules in versions prior to 0.11.4. PathFilter compiles its deny-list patterns case-sensitively and matches raw path segments, so on case-insensitive macOS and Windows filesystems variants like .Git/config or .GIT/config (and on Windows, trailing-dot/space forms such as .git./config) pass both isAllowed() and isAllowedForListing() while the operating system still opens the real restricted directory. …
