CKAN MCP Server: Cache-key canonicalization collision enables cache confusion / poisoning
## Summary The response cache derives its key from an ambiguous string serialization of the request parameters. `canonicalizeParams` joins sorted `${key}=${value}` pairs with `&` and does not escape `&`, `=`, or the `|` field separators used in `buildCacheKey`. Two **different** logical parameter sets can therefore serialize to the **same** key and share one cache entry. Because the cached value is whatever the upstream returned for whichever request populated the entry first, an attacker can p
CKAN MCP Server: Information disclosure via verbose error reflection
## Summary Error paths reflect raw upstream response bodies and internal exception messages back to the caller instead of a sanitized, generic message. When the server is pointed at (or redirected/SSRF'd to) a host that returns a non-CKAN response, or when an internal exception occurs, the caller receives verbatim upstream content and internal detail (hostnames, internal IPs, DB errors, stack fragments). ## Affected code `src/utils/http.ts` — the entire decoded upstream body is embedded in th
CKAN MCP Server: MQA server allowlist bypass via unanchored regex (`isValidMqaServer`)
## Summary The `ckan_get_mqa_quality` and `ckan_get_mqa_quality_details` tools restrict their `server_url` argument to `dati.gov.it` via a regular expression. The regex is anchored only at the start and places no boundary after the host, so any URL whose host merely **begins with** `dati.gov.it` — or that uses `dati.gov.it` as URL *userinfo* before an `@` — passes validation while actually targeting an attacker-controlled host. ## Affected code ```js // src/tools/quality.ts const ALLOWED_SERV
@aborruso/ckan-mcp-server: SSRF via base_url allows access to internal networks (Potential fix bypass of CVE-2026-33060)
### Summary A known vulnerability CVE-2026-33060 indicated tools including ckan_package_search and sparql_query that accept a base_url parameter had the risk of making HTTP requests to arbitrary endpoints without restriction. A fix was applied to filter out ip addresses. However, a method to bypass exists. ### Details CKAN MCP Server validates caller-supplied CKAN server URLs by inspecting only the parsed hostname string before issuing outbound HTTP requests. In `src/utils/http.ts`, hostname al
SSRF in @aborruso/ckan-mcp-server via base_url allows access to internal networks
## Summary The `@aborruso/ckan-mcp-server` MCP server provides tools including `ckan_package_search` and `sparql_query` that accept a `base_url` parameter, making HTTP requests to arbitrary endpoints without restriction. A CKAN portal client has no legitimate reason to contact cloud metadata or internal network services. ## Severity Attack complexity is HIGH because exploitation requires prompt injection via malicious content (webpage, document) while the victim's AI assistant has this MCP se
