Summary

A security flaw has been discovered in mcollina mcp-ripgrep up to 0.4.0 in an unknown function of the file src/index.ts of the Advanced Search Tool component. Manipulation of the fileType argument results in OS command injection; the attack requires a local approach. The exploit has been released publicly and the real existence of this vulnerability is still doubted.

Risk Assessment

A local attacker may execute arbitrary system commands, potentially compromising the environment where the tool runs.

Recommendation

Restrict access to the tool and validate the fileType argument; monitor project updates and apply least privilege.

Original NVD description (English source)

A security flaw has been discovered in mcollina mcp-ripgrep up to 0.4.0. Affected is an unknown function of the file src/index.ts of the component Advanced Search Tool. The manipulation of the argument fileType results in os command injection. The attack requires a local approach. The exploit has been released to the public and may be used for attacks. The real existence of this vulnerability is still doubted at the moment. The code's own escapeShellArg on sibling arguments (skipped only for fileType) indicates that this is a CWE-78 oversight, not a documented design. The project maintainer cites the documentation: "This MCP server executes shell commands using the ripgrep tool. While efforts have been made to safely escape arguments, use caution when providing input, as it runs commands on your machine."
