Description

A vulnerability was identified in wonderwhy-er DesktopCommanderMCP 0.2.37. This affects the function readFileFromUrl of the file src/tools/filesystem.ts of the component read_file. Such manipulation of the argument url leads to server-side request forgery. The attack may be performed from remote. The exploit is publicly available and might be used. The name of the patch is 53699bebba9950047bca16ac4dc8f0568f596aaa. It is best practice to apply a patch to resolve this issue.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency

  1. Detect

    Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for @wonderwhy-er/desktop-commander, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

  2. Remediation status

    No patched version of @wonderwhy-er/desktop-commander has shipped for GHSA-5xx3-j724-wmx5 yet. Where your build allows, override or pin the dependency away from the vulnerable range, and apply any maintainer-recommended mitigation.

  3. Mitigate without a patch

    Restrict outbound requests from the affected component to an allowlist of hosts, block access to link-local and internal address ranges at the network layer, and require authentication on internal services so a forged request cannot reach them unauthenticated.
