security research.
i look for bugs in open-source tools, mostly mcp servers, the tool servers ai agents use to reach files, browsers, databases and the network. this is only what's public.
advisories
- fetch-mcp: ssrf through a redirect to a literal ip
redirect hops to a literal ip skipped the ssrf checks, so any fetched page could bounce the server to cloud metadata and hand iam credentials to the model.
GHSA-5rr2-84x3-mw4g · high 7.4 · fixed in 0.7.1
- caddy-mcp: one call wipes the whole caddy config
writing to the config root skipped the confirm step and was marked non-destructive, so a model could replace the live config without a human being asked.
GHSA-6859-g3p8-jc93 · high 7.7 · fixed in 2.5.5
fixes merged upstream
- chrome-devtools-mcp: upload_file escapes the filesystem sandbox
paths that parsed as urls skipped validation and resolved to any file on disk.

- perfetto: download_trace follows any url scheme
a shared trace link could read local files through file:// or reach internal hosts.
