CVE-2025-6514 Details
Description
mcp-remote is exposed to OS command injection when connecting to untrusted MCP servers due to crafted input from the authorization_endpoint response URL
A command injection vulnerability has been identified in mcp-remote, a tool used to connect Large Language Model (LLM) clients to remote Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. This vulnerability allows for arbitrary operating system command execution on the machine running mcp-remote, but only when connected to untrusted MCP servers. The issue arises from crafted input in the authorization_endpoint response URL, which mcp-remote processes in a way that can be exploited. The vulnerability affects mcp-remote versions 0.0.5 prior to 0.1.15 and has been fixed in version 0.1.16.
Update mcp-remote to version 0.1.16 or later, and only connect to trusted MCP servers using secure connections.
