CVE-2025-59288info · fixed

Playwright downloads and installs browsers without verifying the authenticity of the SSL certificate

### Summary Use of `curl` with the `-k` (or `--insecure`) flag in installer scripts allows attackers to deliver arbitrary executables via Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attacks. This can lead to full system compromise, as the downloaded files are installed as privileged applications. ### Details The following scripts in the `microsoft/playwright` repository at commit [`bee11cbc28f24bd18e726163d0b9b1571b4f26a8`](https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/commit/bee11cbc28f24bd18e726163d0b9b1571b4f26a8) u

README

OpenEvidence MCP (Unofficial)

[!IMPORTANT] This project is unofficial and is not affiliated with OpenEvidence. It does not provide medical advice, does not bypass access controls, and should only be used with your own OpenEvidence account in compliance with applicable terms, privacy rules, and clinical governance requirements.

Agent Onboarding & Installation

Using Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, or another local AI coding agent? You can let the agent handle the entire setup, compilation, and local MCP configuration for you!

Copy and paste this short bootstrap prompt directly into your local AI coding assistant:

Please install OpenEvidence MCP for me: clone https://github.com/bakhtiersizhaev/openevidence-mcp, install dependencies, run build, auto-configure this MCP server in my local client (Claude Desktop/Codex/Cursor), guide me through the one-time Edge/Chrome login using `npm run login:session`, and run `npm run smoke` to verify. Keep everything strictly local and secure.

For the comprehensive, step-by-step setup playbook and rules, see docs/AGENT_INSTALL_PROMPT.md.

What it does

OpenEvidence MCP runs a local stdio MCP server that lets MCP clients use your existing OpenEvidence browser session for:

checking whether the saved session is authenticated;
listing your OpenEvidence question/article history;
fetching a full article payload by ID;
asking an OpenEvidence research question and optionally waiting for completion;
polling an existing OpenEvidence article until it completes.

No official OpenEvidence API token is required.

What it does NOT do

It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or approved by OpenEvidence.
It does not provide medical advice or replace clinical judgment.
It does not bypass authentication, paywalls, or access controls.
It does not collect credentials.
It does not send your browser session state anywhere except to OpenEvidence through local requests from your machine.
It should not be used for patient-specific diagnosis or treatment decisions without appropriate human review.

Who it is for

clinicians using their own OpenEvidence account;
medical researchers;
AI operators building evidence-research workflows;
MCP developers integrating local tools with Codex, Claude, Cursor, Cline, Continue, or similar clients.

Tested / Target Clients

This project is designed for MCP-compatible clients and local agent workflows. Only Codex and Claude-style local configuration examples are maintained in this repository unless otherwise noted.

Client	Status	Notes
OpenAI Codex / Codex CLI / Codex app	Target	Recommended local MCP workflow.
Claude Code	Target	Recommended agent workflow.
Claude Desktop / Claude app with MCP support	Target	Local MCP server configuration.
Cursor	Compatible	MCP-compatible IDE workflow.
