Path Traversal via Symlink Following in allowedLocalRoots in MCP Toolbox for Databases

Published Sep 29, 2026 · Updated Sep 29, 2026 · Assigned by Google

Description

Improper link resolution (CWE-59 / CWE-22) in the allowedLocalRoots path validation in Google MCP Toolbox for Databases versions 1.2.0 through 1.9.0 allows a remote authenticated attacker with tool execution permissions to bypass directory boundary restrictions via symbolic links. Because path validation checks directories lexically without resolving symbolic links first, an attacker can access or overwrite arbitrary local files located outside the permitted root directories.
