Description
By providing a command-line argument starting with a semi-colon ; to an API endpoint created by the EnhancedCommandExecutor class of the HexStrike AI MCP server, the resultant composed command is executed directly in the context of the MCP server’s normal privilege; typically, this is root. There is no attempt to sanitize these arguments in the default configuration of this MCP server at the affected version (as of commit 2f3a5512 in September of 2025).

Executive Summary

This vulnerability occurs in the HexStrike AI MCP server where an API endpoint created by the EnhancedCommandExecutor class accepts command-line arguments starting with a semicolon (;). These arguments are not sanitized, causing the server to execute the composed command directly with the server's normal privileges, which are typically root. This allows an attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the server.

Impact Analysis

The vulnerability allows an attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the HexStrike AI MCP server with root privileges. This can lead to full system compromise, unauthorized access to sensitive data, disruption of services, and potential further exploitation within the affected environment.
