WeKnora has Command Injection in MCP stdio test
Vulnerability Description
---
Vulnerability Overview
This issue is a command injection vulnerability (CWE-78) that allows authenticated users to inject stdio_config.command/args into MCP stdio settings, causing the server to execute subprocesses using these injected values.
The root causes are as follows:
- Missing Security Filtering: When transport_type=stdio, there is no validation on stdio_config.command/args, such as allowlisting, enforcing fixed paths/binaries, or blocking dangerous options.
- Functional Flaw (Trust Boundary Violation): The command/args stored as "service configuration data" are directly used in the /test execution flow and connected to execution sinks without validation.
- Lack of Authorization Control: This functionality effectively allows "process execution on the server" (an administrative operation), yet no administrator-only permission checks are implemented in the code (accessible with Bearer authentication only).
Vulnerable Code
1. API Route Registration (path where endpoints are created)
