Submit #803082: eiliyaabedini aider-mcp 667b914301aada695aab0e46d1fb3a7d5e32c8af Command Injectioninfo

Titleeiliyaabedini aider-mcp 667b914301aada695aab0e46d1fb3a7d5e32c8af Command Injection
Descriptionaider-mcp exposes the code_with_ai MCP tool, which accepts caller-controlled working_dir and editable_files. After Aider runs, the server attempts to summarize changes by constructing a git diff command string: files_arg = " ".join(relative_editable_files) diff_cmd = f"git -C {working_dir} diff -- {files_arg}" subprocess.check_output(diff_cmd, shell=True, text=True, stderr=subprocess.PIPE) Because neither working_dir nor the file names are quoted or escaped, shell metacharacters in editable_files can terminate the intended git diff command and execute arbitrary operating-system commands on the host.
