Overview<\/strong><\/p>\n

The CVE-2025-53372 vulnerability refers to a critical flaw found in the node-code-sandbox-mcp, a Node.js-based Model Context Protocol server. This vulnerability, if successfully exploited, can lead to remote code execution, compromising the host system and potentially leading to data leakage. This vulnerability affects all versions of node-code-sandbox-mcp prior to 1.3.0.<\/p>\n

Vulnerability Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n

CVE ID: CVE-2025-53372
\nSeverity: High, CVSS: 7.5
\nAttack Vector: Network
\nPrivileges Required: None
\nUser Interaction: None
\nImpact: Remote Code Execution, Potential System Compromise, and Data Leakage<\/p>\n

Affected Products<\/strong><\/p>\n

Product | Affected Versions<\/p>\n

node-code-sandbox-mcp | < 1.3.0\n\nHow the Exploit Works<\/strong><\/p>\n

The vulnerability exists due to the unsanitized use of input parameters within a call to child_process.execSync. This allows an attacker to inject arbitrary system commands. Successful exploitation can lead to remote code execution under the server process’s privileges on the host machine, bypassing the sandbox protection of running code inside docker.<\/p>\n

Conceptual Example Code<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here’s a conceptual example of how an attacker might exploit this vulnerability:<\/p>\n

\/\/ Attacker uses unsanitized input to pass malicious command\nvar payload = \"`touch \/tmp\/arbitrary-file`\";\n\/\/ The unsanitized input is passed to child_process.execSync\nrequire('child_process').execSync(payload);<\/code><\/pre>\n
In this example, if the payload is executed, an arbitrary file would be created in the \/tmp directory, demonstrating the ability to execute arbitrary commands.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
