Publication date: 2026-08-09

Last updated on: 2026-08-09

Assigner: VulDB

Description

A vulnerability was found in PV-Bhat gemsuite-mcp 1.0.0. Affected by this issue is some unknown functionality of the file src/handlers/unified-gemini.ts of the component gemini_search/gemini_reason/gemini_process/gemini_analyze. The manipulation of the argument file_path/file_paths results in path traversal. The attack must be initiated from a local position. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.

CWE

KEV

CWE ID	Description
CWE-22	The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory.

Attack-Flow Graph

Executive Summary

This is a path traversal vulnerability in the PV-Bhat gemsuite-mcp 1.0.0 software. It exists in the file src/handlers/unified-gemini.ts, specifically in the gemini_search/gemini_reason/gemini_process/gemini_analyze component. The issue allows manipulation of the file_path or file_paths argument to access unauthorized file system paths. The attack requires local access to the system.

Detection Guidance

This vulnerability involves path traversal in the PV-Bhat gemsuite-mcp component, specifically in the file src/handlers/unified-gemini.ts. Detection requires checking for unusual file path manipulations in the gemini_search/gemini_reason/gemini_process/gemini_analyze components. No specific commands are provided in the context.

Impact Analysis

An attacker with local access could exploit this to read sensitive files outside intended directories. This may lead to unauthorized data exposure, system information leaks, or further attacks if combined with other vulnerabilities. The impact is limited to local users due to the attack vector requirement.

Compliance Impact

The vulnerability is a local path traversal issue that could allow unauthorized access to files on the system. This may impact compliance with standards like GDPR or HIPAA if sensitive data is exposed, but specific compliance impacts depend on the data processed by the affected component.

Mitigation Strategies

Since this is a local path traversal vulnerability in PV-Bhat gemsuite-mcp, immediately stop using the affected component gemini_search/gemini_reason/gemini_process/gemini_analyze until a patch is released. Review file_path/file_paths inputs in the code to ensure proper validation and sanitization.
