CVE-2026-7038 Details
Description
A weakness has been identified in tufantunc ssh-mcp up to 1.5.0. Impacted is an unknown function of the file src/index.ts of the component Command Line Handler. This manipulation causes insufficiently protected credentials. The attack is restricted to local execution. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be used for attacks. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.
A local information exposure vulnerability exists in Tufantunc ssh-mcp versions through 1.5.0. The issue arises in the Command Line Handler component, specifically within an unknown function in the file src/index.ts. This vulnerability allows SSH credentials to be passed via command-line options, which are then exposed to unprivileged local users. The process arguments can be read through standard Linux utilities, such as 'ps' or '/proc//cmdline', leading to unauthorized access to plaintext passwords. The vulnerability has been publicly disclosed and could be exploited by any local user on the same host.
