    Title
    excel-mcp-server 0.1.8 Arbitrary File Read/Write via stdio mode
    Summary
    excel-mcp-server 0.1.8 fails to enforce path confinement in stdio mode when EXCEL_FILES_PATH is unset, allowing attackers to read and write arbitrary files. Attackers can supply unchecked file paths to read and write tools to access any file accessible to the process.

    CVE-2026-40576 (GCVE-0-2026-40576)

    Vulnerability from nvd – Published: 2026-04-21 16:35 – Updated: 2026-04-21 16:50

    Title
    Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') in excel-mcp-server
    Summary
    excel-mcp-server is a Model Context Protocol server for Excel file manipulation. A path traversal vulnerability exists in excel-mcp-server versions up to and including 0.1.7. When running in SSE or Streamable-HTTP transport mode (the documented way to use this server remotely), an unauthenticated attacker on the network can read, write, and overwrite arbitrary files on the host filesystem by supplying crafted filepath arguments to any of the 25 exposed MCP tool handlers. The server is intended to confine file operations to a directory set by the EXCEL_FILES_PATH environment variable. The function responsible for enforcing this boundary — get_excel_path() — fails to do so due to two independent flaws: it passes absolute paths through without any check, and it joins relative paths without resolving or validating the result. Combined with zero authentication on the default network-facing transport and a default bind address of 0.0.0.0 (all interfaces), this allows trivial remote exploitation. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.1.8.

    Title
    excel-mcp-server 0.1.8 Arbitrary File Read/Write via stdio mode
    Summary
    excel-mcp-server 0.1.8 fails to enforce path confinement in stdio mode when EXCEL_FILES_PATH is unset, allowing attackers to read and write arbitrary files. Attackers can supply unchecked file paths to read and write tools to access any file accessible to the process.

    Title
    Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') in excel-mcp-server
    Summary
    excel-mcp-server is a Model Context Protocol server for Excel file manipulation. A path traversal vulnerability exists in excel-mcp-server versions up to and including 0.1.7. When running in SSE or Streamable-HTTP transport mode (the documented way to use this server remotely), an unauthenticated attacker on the network can read, write, and overwrite arbitrary files on the host filesystem by supplying crafted filepath arguments to any of the 25 exposed MCP tool handlers. The server is intended to confine file operations to a directory set by the EXCEL_FILES_PATH environment variable. The function responsible for enforcing this boundary — get_excel_path() — fails to do so due to two independent flaws: it passes absolute paths through without any check, and it joins relative paths without resolving or validating the result. Combined with zero authentication on the default network-facing transport and a default bind address of 0.0.0.0 (all interfaces), this allows trivial remote exploitation. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.1.8.
