Known Vulnerabilities

Overview: Documented security vulnerabilities in MCP implementations, tools, and infrastructure.

This section tracks real-world security vulnerabilities discovered in MCP systems, including CVEs, security advisories, and documented attack incidents.

Vulnerability Categories

Critical Vulnerabilities

  • Remote Code Execution (RCE): Vulnerabilities allowing arbitrary code execution
  • Authentication Bypass: Flaws that bypass authentication mechanisms
  • Privilege Escalation: Vulnerabilities enabling privilege escalation

High-Risk Vulnerabilities

  • Data Exfiltration: Vulnerabilities enabling unauthorized data access
  • Session Hijacking: Flaws allowing session takeover
  • Input Validation Bypass: Vulnerabilities bypassing security controls

Medium-Risk Vulnerabilities

  • Information Disclosure: Vulnerabilities exposing sensitive information
  • Denial of Service: Flaws causing service disruption
  • Configuration Issues: Misconfigurations leading to security risks

Tracking and Management

Vulnerability Lifecycle

  1. Discovery: Vulnerability identification and initial assessment
  2. Disclosure: Responsible disclosure to affected parties
  3. Assessment: Impact analysis and severity rating
  4. Mitigation: Temporary workarounds and fixes
  5. Patching: Permanent fixes and updates
  6. Verification: Confirmation of fix effectiveness

Severity Ratings

  • Critical: Immediate action required, high impact
  • High: Prompt action needed, significant impact
  • Medium: Moderate impact, should be addressed
  • Low: Minor impact, can be addressed in regular cycle

Current Vulnerability Status

Active Vulnerabilities

  • Vulnerabilities requiring immediate attention
  • Unpatched critical and high-severity issues
  • Ongoing security incidents

Patched Vulnerabilities

  • Resolved vulnerabilities with available fixes
  • Historical vulnerability records
  • Lessons learned and prevention measures

This section provides ongoing tracking of security vulnerabilities to help organizations understand and mitigate MCP-related security risks.
