CVE-2026-104634 Details
Description
Incorrect Type Conversion or Cast vulnerability in BeamMCP.Server in ScriptKittyOS beam_mcp allows an MCP client's JSON true, false and null tool arguments to reach the host's dispatch function as the strings "true", "false" and "nil". After BeamMCP.Schema.validate/2 accepted a value as a boolean, normalize_arguments/2 passed every argument through to_json_value/1, whose atom clause converts true, false and nil to strings. A string is truthy in Elixir, so a host that tests a boolean argument, for example if args.dry_run, takes the opposite branch for false, and a guard such as confirm: false reads as set. The client controls the argument and could send true directly, so the practical impact is limited to hosts whose behaviour on false differs from their behaviour on true, and to any policy layer in front of the server that permits false but refuses true. The same normalisation applies to prompts/get arguments, which exist from 0.5.0. This issue affects beam_mcp: from 0.1.0 before 0.10.1.
A vulnerability in the BeamMCP server of ScriptKittyOS's beam_mcp package, affecting versions 0.1.0 prior to 0.10.1, allows JSON boolean and null arguments from an MCP client to be incorrectly converted and dispatched as strings. This misrepresentation can lead to unintended behavior in the host application, particularly for tools that rely on accurate boolean values. The issue arises because the normalization process transforms JSON 'true', 'false', and 'null' into their string equivalents, which are then interpreted as truthy values in Elixir. As a result, a host may mistakenly process a 'false' argument as 'true', disrupting expected functionality.
The vulnerability has been fixed in BeamMCP version 0.10.1. Users can upgrade to this version to address the issue.
