ggerve coding-standards-mcp server.py get_best_practices path traversal
Description

A vulnerability was found in ggerve coding-standards-mcp. This issue affects the function get_style_guide/get_best_practices of the file server.py. The manipulation of the argument Language results in path traversal. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploit has been made public and could be used. This product takes the approach of rolling releases to provide continious delivery. Therefore, version details for affected and updated releases are not available. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.

CVSS Scores
The Common Vulnerability Scoring System is a standardized framework for assessing the severity of vulnerabilities in software and systems. We collect and displays CVSS scores from various sources for each CVE.
Score Version Severity Vector Exploitability Score Impact Score Source
CVSS 2.0 MEDIUM [email protected]
CVSS 3.1 MEDIUM [email protected]
CVSS 4.0 MEDIUM [email protected]
Solution
Implement input validation and sanitize user-supplied file paths to prevent traversal.
  • Sanitize all user-supplied path inputs.
  • Validate input against expected file paths.
  • Restrict access to sensitive directories.
  • Update the application after a fix is released.
