Remote Ssh (shiharu) MCP Server

Published by @shiharu — no publish provenance and no public repository, so the publisher could not be verified and the source cannot be independently located.

A Why this grade threat 100 − adoption risk = 92/100

The grade answers one question — how safe is this server for you to adopt — so it is computed in two auditable stages. Nothing below is an opinion or an LLM's guess; every line is a real term the deterministic engine applied, and the same input always yields the same number.

1. Threat score — 100 − 0 = 100. What the published surface and source actually contain:

The deterministic scan raised no scored threat in the surface it inspected — the threat score stayed at 100. Capability observations and advisory notes are recorded but never lower it.

2. Client adoption risk — 100 − 8 = 92. Three small, subtract-only factors that reflect your risk in adopting it — a clean scan proves less on a powerful, unverified or barely-inspectable package, so the grade says so plainly:

PointsAdoption-risk factor
−6 capability blast radius (high) — client exposure if the model is manipulated
−2 publisher verification (unlinked) — no provenance/repo link, but the shipped source was fully read

Capability observations and info notes are shown under Findings but never scored. Open any row's finding below for the file, line and evidence behind a deduction.

Findings 12

high Reads a sensitive credential path or dumps the environment (dist/src/shared/config.js)MTC-SRC-006

In the server's implementation (`dist/src/shared/config.js:21`): Reading private keys / cloud credentials, or serializing the whole environment, is a sensitive-data source that becomes exfiltration when combined with any egress. This is read from the code itself — not from the tool description — so a poisoned server cannot hide it behind honest-looking metadata.

Evidence: privateKey: "~/.ssh/id_rsa", }, }; // ─── Cached config directory path (resolved once on first call) ───────────

Fix: Review this call path: confirm it never receives unsanitized tool input, constrain it, or remove it. Treat a server whose code reaches these sinks as high-capability regardless of what its tools claim.

Location: server dist/src/shared/config.js

high Tool "exec_session_start" exposes command/code executionMTC-CAP-001

Tool "exec_session_start" appears to run shell commands or evaluate code (keyword "exec" in tool name). Arbitrary execution driven by model input is one of the most dangerous MCP capabilities; combined with any untrusted input it becomes RCE.

Fix: Sandbox execution, allowlist commands/arguments, and never pass model output to a shell unescaped.

Location: tool exec_session_start

high Tool "exec" exposes command/code executionMTC-CAP-001

Tool "exec" appears to run shell commands or evaluate code (keyword "exec" in tool name, parameter "command"). Arbitrary execution driven by model input is one of the most dangerous MCP capabilities; combined with any untrusted input it becomes RCE.

Fix: Sandbox execution, allowlist commands/arguments, and never pass model output to a shell unescaped.

Location: tool exec

high Tool "exec_session_close" exposes command/code executionMTC-CAP-001

Tool "exec_session_close" appears to run shell commands or evaluate code (keyword "exec" in tool name). Arbitrary execution driven by model input is one of the most dangerous MCP capabilities; combined with any untrusted input it becomes RCE.

Fix: Sandbox execution, allowlist commands/arguments, and never pass model output to a shell unescaped.

Location: tool exec_session_close

high Shell/command execution in server code (dist/src/gateway/transport.js)MTC-SRC-002

In the server's implementation (`dist/src/gateway/transport.js:102`): Spawning a shell/process is command-execution capability; with unsanitized tool input it is command injection / RCE. This is read from the code itself — not from the tool description — so a poisoned server cannot hide it behind honest-looking metadata.

Evidence: sion lifecycle: start → exec (multiple) → close. " + "Returns session_id and initial working directory.",

Fix: Review this call path: confirm it never receives unsanitized tool input, constrain it, or remove it. Treat a server whose code reaches these sinks as high-capability regardless of what its tools claim.

Location: server dist/src/gateway/transport.js

high Shell/command execution in server code (dist/src/managers/exec.js)MTC-SRC-002

In the server's implementation (`dist/src/managers/exec.js:159`): Spawning a shell/process is command-execution capability; with unsanitized tool input it is command injection / RCE. This is read from the code itself — not from the tool description — so a poisoned server cannot hide it behind honest-looking metadata.

Evidence: pdated cwd. */ exec(sessionId, command, opts) { const session = this.sessions.get(sessionId); i

Fix: Review this call path: confirm it never receives unsanitized tool input, constrain it, or remove it. Treat a server whose code reaches these sinks as high-capability regardless of what its tools claim.

medium Untrusted input can drive an external actionMTC-FLOW-005

Untrusted-input tools ([sftp_download]) co-exist with external-action tools ([exec_session_start, exec, exec_session_close]). A prompt injection could cause unwanted external actions, though no direct sensitive-data leak path was found.

Evidence: untrusted [sftp_download] → sinks [exec_session_start, exec, exec_session_close]

Fix: Require confirmation for state-changing/egress actions triggered after processing untrusted content.

Location: flow sftp_download → exec_session_start

medium Unconstrained URL/host parameter "host" on "sftp_download"MTC-CAP-007

Tool "sftp_download" takes a URL/host parameter "host" with no allowlist/pattern. An outbound-request tool with an unbounded destination enables SSRF and cloud-metadata access (e.g. 169.254.169.254).

Fix: Allowlist destinations or constrain the parameter; block private/link-local addresses server-side.

Location: tool sftp_download · inputSchema.properties.host

medium Unconstrained command parameter "command" on "exec"MTC-CAP-006

Tool "exec" takes a command-shaped parameter "command" with no enum/pattern constraint. Free-form, model- or attacker-controlled arguments reaching a shell is the command-injection precondition.

Fix: Constrain the parameter (enum/pattern), or build the command from a fixed template with escaped args.

Location: tool exec · inputSchema.properties.command

low Mutating tool "exec_session_start" declares no destructiveHintMTC-CAP-005

Tool "exec_session_start" can mutate/egress but declares no destructiveHint. Clients that don't default to spec-safe behavior may not prompt before running it.

Fix: Declare accurate annotations, and gate destructive tools on user confirmation regardless.

low Mutating tool "exec" declares no destructiveHintMTC-CAP-005

Tool "exec" can mutate/egress but declares no destructiveHint. Clients that don't default to spec-safe behavior may not prompt before running it.

Fix: Declare accurate annotations, and gate destructive tools on user confirmation regardless.
