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

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. The vulnerability arises from unsanitized input parameters within a system call, leaving an opening for an attacker to inject arbitrary system commands leading to remote code execution. Given the ubiquity and importance of translation APIs in modern applications, the implications of this vulnerability are significant and widespread.<\/p>\n

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

CVE ID: CVE-2025-53832
\nSeverity: High (7.5 CVSS Score)
\nAttack Vector: Network
\nPrivileges Required: None
\nUser Interaction: None
\nImpact: Potential system compromise or data leakage<\/p>\n

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

Product | Affected Versions<\/p>\n

Lara Translate MCP Server | 0.0.11 and below<\/p>\n

How the Exploit Works<\/strong><\/p>\n

The vulnerability exists due to the unsanitized use of input parameters within a call to child_process.exec in the @translated\/lara-mcp MCP Server. The server constructs and executes shell commands using unvalidated user input directly within command-line strings. This introduces the possibility of shell metacharacter injection (|, >, &&, etc.). If successfully exploited, an attacker can achieve remote code execution under the server process’s privileges.<\/p>\n

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

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

POST \/translate\/api\/v1 HTTP\/1.1\nHost: target.example.com\nContent-Type: application\/json\n{ \"text\": \"sample text; rm -rf \/;\" }<\/code><\/pre>\n
In the above example, the text parameter, instead of containing a benign text to translate, includes a shell command (“rm -rf \/;”) that could potentially delete all files on the server.<\/p>\n
Mitigation Guidance<\/strong><\/p>\n
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":"
