@wonderwhy-er/desktop-commander

source listed
  • < 0.2.39

A security flaw has been discovered in wonderwhy-er DesktopCommanderMCP up to 0.2.38. This impacts an unknown function of the file src/search-manager.ts of the component start_search. Performing a manipulation of the argument SearchResult[] results in inefficient regular expression complexity. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The exploit has been released to the public and may be used for attacks. Upgrading to version 0.2.39 will fix this issue. The patch is named 4ce845f8749b6a159b57b38dcc3357f7222a8078. It is suggested to upgrade the affected component.

03 / Response

What to do next

  1. investigate

    Identify the exact component and deployed version, examine the linked publisher’s conditions, and retain evidence of any mitigation.

    Confirm current vendor support, compatibility and deployment evidence. This report has not tested a fix in your system. FIRST EPSS

A fixed release is not deployment evidence.

Check current vendor support and compatibility. After making a change, verify the deployed build and relevant runtime conditions. Keep the evidence, owner and time. An updated lockfile alone does not prove what is running.
