7. Unknown Transitive Dependencies in Tool Chains

MCP tools often rely on CLI tools (nmap, curl) or packages (requests, pycrypto) without visibility into their CVEs. Tech Detail:
  • No SBOM (Software Bill of Materials)
  • No dynamic runtime dependency scanner
Exploit Potential:
  • curl <7.84 allows command injection
  • Python packages with typosquatted names (reqeusts) silently exfiltrate
Mitigation:
  • Run syft or trivy on tool containers
  • Publish signed SBOMs and track transitive CVEs
