What is CVE-2025-6514?
CVE-2025-6514 is a critical vulnerability found in the MCP-Remote tool developed by JFrog, which is designed to facilitate communication and management of remote build environments. This vulnerability stems from an OS command injection flaw that arises when MCP-Remote connects to untrusted servers. Specifically, the issue occurs when crafted input from the authorization endpoint response URL is processed, allowing malicious actors to execute arbitrary operating system commands on the host system. This kind of attack could severely compromise the security of organizations relying on MCP-Remote, as it undermines the integrity of data handling and the overall operational environment.
Potential impact of CVE-2025-6514
-
Remote Code Execution: The primary risk associated with CVE-2025-6514 is the potential for remote code execution. Exploiting this vulnerability would allow attackers to run arbitrary commands on the affected systems, leading to unauthorized data access and manipulation.
-
Data Breach Risk: Organizations could face significant exposure to data breaches. Given the ability to execute commands, attackers could exfiltrate sensitive data, impacting compliance and trustworthiness regarding data protection.
-
System Integrity Compromise: Successful exploitation may lead to a complete compromise of the organization's systems, allowing attackers to install malware, gain persistence, or further infiltrate the network, which could have long-term operational and financial consequences.
