CVE-2022-29244high · fixedCVSS 7.5

Packing does not respect root-level ignore files in workspaces

### Impact `npm pack` ignores root-level `.gitignore` & `.npmignore` file exclusion directives when run in a workspace or with a workspace flag (ie. `--workspaces`, `--workspace=<name>`). Anyone who has run `npm pack` or `npm publish` with workspaces, as of [v7.9.0](https://github.com/npm/cli/releases/tag/v7.9.0) & [v7.13.0](https://github.com/npm/cli/releases/tag/v7.13.0) respectively, may be affected and have published files into the npm registry they did not intend to include. ### Patch - Up

Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource in NPM

An issue was discovered in an npm 5.7.0 2018-02-21 pre-release (marked as "next: 5.7.0" and therefore automatically installed by an "npm upgrade -g npm" command, and also announced in the vendor's blog without mention of pre-release status). It might allow local users to bypass intended filesystem access restrictions because ownerships of /etc and /usr directories are being changed unexpectedly, related to a "correctMkdir" issue.

Local Privilege Escalation in npm

Affected versions of `npm` use predictable temporary file names during archive unpacking. If an attacker can create a symbolic link at the location of one of these temporary file names, the attacker can arbitrarily write to any file that the user which owns the `npm` process has permission to write to, potentially resulting in local privilege escalation. ## Recommendation Update to version 1.3.3 or later.

npm Vulnerable to Global node_modules Binary Overwrite

Versions of the npm CLI prior to 6.13.4 are vulnerable to a Global node_modules Binary Overwrite. It fails to prevent existing globally-installed binaries to be overwritten by other package installations. For example, if a package was installed globally and created a `serve` binary, any subsequent installs of packages that also create a `serve` binary would overwrite the first binary. This will not overwrite system binaries but only binaries put into the global node_modules directory. This b

agentsearch-mcp

A remote MCP (Model Context Protocol) connector for AgentSearch API — an LLM/MCP-native web toolkit for agents and RAG pipelines: web search (provider-abstracted SERP), keyless instant answers, and URL → clean text/markdown fetch ready for an LLM context window.

Live: https://agentsearch-mcp.vercel.app/mcp — 3 tools, one per AgentSearch /v1 endpoint. Since the upstream AgentSearch deployment is metered (RapidAPI/Apify) and gates /v1/* behind a RapidAPI proxy-secret guard, this connector authenticates its own outbound calls with that same secret (AGENTSEARCH_MCP_PROXY_SECRET, sent as the X-RapidAPI-Proxy-Secret header) and applies a soft per-IP rate limit (AGENTSEARCH_MCP_RATE_LIMIT, default 30 tool-calls/hour, in-memory) so the free MCP tier stays a discovery channel rather than an unmetered bypass of the paid listing — see lib/ratelimit.js.

What this is, and why it's a separate connector

AgentSearch API is a plain REST API. Any HTTP client can already call it directly. This repo exists because MCP clients (Claude, ChatGPT, and other MCP-aware agents) don't consume arbitrary REST APIs — they consume MCP tools. agentsearch-mcp is a thin adapter layer that:

Exposes each AgentSearch endpoint as a discoverable, typed MCP tool (name, description, zod input schema, annotations) that an LLM can reason about and call directly, instead of having to be taught the REST surface out-of-band.
Speaks the MCP streamable-HTTP transport at a single /mcp endpoint, so it can be registered as a connector in Claude, ChatGPT, or any other MCP client with one URL.
Does nothing else. It has no business logic of its own — every tool call is a pass-through fetch to AgentSearch, and the JSON response AgentSearch returns is handed back verbatim as the tool result.

Free discovery tier over a metered API

This connector is a free discovery/growth tier in front of the metered AgentSearch API. The upstream (agentsearch-api.vercel.app) is sold on RapidAPI/Apify; this MCP wrapper authenticates to it with the shared RapidAPI proxy secret and caps usage per-IP so it stays a taste-test rather than an unmetered path around the paid plans. Heavy/production volume should go through AgentSearch on RapidAPI/Apify.

Authentication: None on the MCP side (deliberate)

AgentSearch's data has no per-user dimension — it's public web data (SERP results, DuckDuckGo instant answers, cleaned page text). There is nothing to gate per-caller, so this connector intentionally ships with:

No OAuth, no login, no bearer tokens for the MCP caller
No Supabase / database
No demo-vs-real account split — every caller gets the same real, live data

api/mcp.js builds a fresh, stateless McpServer per request and serves it with zero MCP-caller auth checks. The only outbound auth is the upstream RapidAPI proxy secret described above, which the connector holds server-side.

Tool list

One tool per AgentSearch /v1 endpoint (from agentsearch-api/openapi.yaml; /api/health is intentionally not wrapped):

Tool	AgentSearch endpoint	Description
`web_search`	`GET /v1/search`	Web SERP via a provider-abstracted backend (Brave or Serper). Returns normalized results with position/title/url/snippet/domain.
`instant_answer`	`GET /v1/answer`	Keyless DuckDuckGo instant answer — definitions, entities, quick facts.
`fetch_url`	`GET /v1/fetch`	Keyless, SSRF-guarded URL → clean, boilerplate-free text or markdown for RAG.

All 3 tools are read-only and annotated { readOnlyHint: true, destructiveHint: false, idempotentHint: true, openWorldHint: true } — none of them write anything, and all of them reflect live, externally-changing web data.

How it wraps agentsearch-api

Each tool handler does a plain fetch(\${AGENTSEARCH_MCP_API_BASE_URL}${path}`, ...)` against the real Agent
