Executive Summary

This vulnerability is a path traversal issue in the skill-ninja-mcp-server 0.1.0. It occurs in functions like getInstalledSkills, installSkill, updateAgentsMd, and uninstallSkill within src/installer.ts. The attack involves manipulating the workspacePath argument to access unintended directories on the local system. The vulnerability requires local access to exploit.

Detection Guidance

Check if the vulnerable version 0.1.0 of skill-ninja-mcp-server is installed by running: npm list skill-ninja-mcp-server or npm list -g skill-ninja-mcp-server. Verify the installed version against the patched version 0.1.1.

Impact Analysis

An attacker could read, write, or delete files outside intended directories by manipulating workspacePath. This may lead to data theft, corruption, or system compromise. Since it requires local access, the risk is higher for shared or multi-user systems where untrusted users have shell access.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized data access or deletion, violating GDPR's integrity and confidentiality principles or HIPAA's safeguards for protected health information. Compliance may be compromised if sensitive data is exposed or altered due to the flaw.

Mitigation Strategies

Upgrade to version 0.1.1 or later using npm update skill-ninja-mcp-server or npm install -g skill-ninja-mcp-server@latest. Ensure workspacePath inputs are restricted to trusted directories and validate paths before filesystem operations.
