Submit #803495: geekgod382 filesystem-mcp-server 4e3e83852b1395de0a437bd4fd66376422f4ea0c Path Traversalinfo

Titelgeekgod382 filesystem-mcp-server 4e3e83852b1395de0a437bd4fd66376422f4ea0c Path Traversal
BeschreibungThe repository README says access is limited to configured ALLOWED_PATHS, with the default root set to the operator's home directory. In server.py, that policy is implemented by is_path_allowed(path), which computes os.path.abspath(path) and then checks abs_path.startswith(allowed) for each configured root. That string-prefix check is bypassable. If /home/alice is allowlisted, a sibling path such as /home/alice_backup/loot.txt still starts with /home/alice and is therefore treated as allowed even though it is outside the intended root. Because the same helper guards read_file_tool, write_file_tool, delete, move, copy, and directory-listing operations, an untrusted MCP caller can use prefix-sharing paths to read, write, or delete files outside the configured ALLOWED_PATHS boundary.
