CVE-2026-44968
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
dbt-mcp is a Model Context Protocol server for interacting with dbt. Prior to 1.17.1, _run_dbt_command() in src/dbt_mcp/dbt_cli/tools.py appended unsanitized node_selection and resource_type values to the dbt subprocess argument list, allowing an MCP client to inject dbt global flags such as --profiles-dir, --project-dir, and --target into subprocess.Popen even though shell=False prevents shell metacharacter injection. This issue is fixed in version 1.17.1.

Antes de la versión 1.17.1, _run_dbt_command() en src/dbt_mcp/dbt_cli/tools.py adjuntaba valores no saneados de node_selection y resource_type a la lista de argumentos del subproceso de dbt, permitiendo a un cliente de MCP inyectar banderas globales de dbt como --profiles-dir, --project-dir y --target en subprocess.Popen a pesar de que shell=False previene la inyección de metacaracteres de shell. Este problema está solucionado en la versión 1.17.1."
