The server constructs and executes shell commands using unvalidated user input directly within command-line strings. This introduces the possibility of shell metacharacter injection (|, >, &#038;&#038;, etc.). If successfully exploited, an attacker can achieve remote code execution under the server process&#8217;s privileges.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conceptual Example Code<\/strong><\/p><div id=\"ameeb-2553518397\" class=\"ameeb-content ameeb-entity-placement\"><div class=\"poptin-embedded\" data-id=\"f6b387694f681\"><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div>\n<p>Consider an attacker sending a POST request to a vulnerable endpoint with a malicious payload. The payload is crafted such that it includes shell metacharacters, leading to execution of arbitrary commands on the server.<\/p>\n<pre><code class=\"\" data-line=\"\">POST \/translate\/api\/v1 HTTP\/1.1\nHost: target.example.com\nContent-Type: application\/json\n{ &quot;text&quot;: &quot;sample text; rm -rf \/;&quot; }<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>In the above example, the text parameter, instead of containing a benign text to translate, includes a shell command (&#8220;rm -rf \/;&#8221;) that could potentially delete all files on the server.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mitigation Guidance<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Users are strongly advised to apply the vendor patch by upgrading Lara Translate MCP Server to version 0.0.12. In the absence of the ability to apply this patch, the use of a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is recommended as a temporary mitigation measure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Overview The report discusses an identified vulnerability, CVE-2025-53832, in the MCP Server of Lara Translate API, which impacts versions 0.0.11 and below.
