| Título | HKUDS nanobot 0.2.1 Improper Access Control in MCP Wrapper Exposure (CWE-284) |
|---|
| Descripción | # Technical Details
An MCP scope bypass exists in the `connect_mcp_servers` method in `nanobot/agent/tools/mcp.py` of nanobot.
The application fails to enforce `tools.mcpServers.<name>.enabledTools` for resource and prompt wrappers during live gateway operation. Even with `enabledTools: []`, nanobot 0.2.1 still registers and exposes resource and prompt wrappers in the Settings API and in the actual tool list sent to the LLM provider during a WebSocket turn.
# Vulnerable Code
File: nanobot/agent/tools/mcp.py
Method: connect_mcp_servers()
Why: The registration code filters only `session.list_tools()` results. It then registers wrappers from `session.list_resources()` and `session.list_prompts()` without the same policy check, so leaked wrappers remain visible and callable end-to-end.
# Reproduction
1. Start a real `nanobot gateway` with a local MCP server exposing one ordinary tool, one resource, and one prompt, and configure `enabledTools: []`.
2. Use the provided deterministic provider and verification scripts to inspect `/api/settings/mcp-presets/test` or trigger a live WebSocket chat turn.
3. Observe that the ordinary MCP tool is absent, but `mcp_demo_resource_canary_resource` and `mcp_demo_prompt_canary_prompt` still appear in the registered/model-facing tool list.
# Impact
- A supposedly deny-all or narrowed MCP policy still leaks model-callable wrappers derived from resources and prompts.
- Sensitive internal reads, templates, or privileged prompt workflows may remain exposed through the gateway despite explicit operator restrictions. |
