Summary
A security vulnerability has been detected in wonderwhy-er DesktopCommanderMCP up to 0.2.13. This vulnerability affects the function isPathAllowed of the file src/tools/filesystem.ts. The manipulation leads to symlink following. The attack can only be performed from a local environment. The attack's complexity is rated as high. It is stated that the exploitability is difficult. The exploit has been disclosed publicly and may be used. The vendor explains: "Our restriction features are designed as guardrails for LLMs to help them stay closer to what users want, rather than hardened security boundaries. (...) For users where security is a top priority, we continue to recommend using Desktop Commander with Docker, which provides actual isolation. (...) We'll keep this issue open for future consideration if we receive more user demand for improved restrictions." This vulnerability only affects products that are no longer supported by the maintainer.

El proveedor explica: \u0027Nuestras caracter\u00edsticas de restricci\u00f3n est\u00e1n dise\u00f1adas como barandillas para los LLM para ayudarles a mantenerse m\u00e1s cerca de lo que los usuarios quieren, en lugar de l\u00edmites de seguridad reforzados. (...) Para los usuarios donde la seguridad es una prioridad m\u00e1xima, seguimos recomendando usar Desktop Commander con Docker, lo que proporciona un aislamiento real. (...) Mantendremos este problema abierto para futuras consideraciones si recibimos m\u00e1s demanda de los usuarios para restricciones mejoradas.\u0027 Esta vulnerabilidad solo afecta a productos que ya no son compatibles con el mantenedor."
