CVE-2026-113378 | mcollina mcp-ripgrep up to 0.4.0 Advanced Search Tool src/index.ts fileType os command injection

A vulnerability was found in mcollina mcp-ripgrep up to 0.4.0. It has been declared as problematic. Affected is an unknown function of the file src/index.ts of the component Advanced Search Tool. The manipulation of the argument fileType results in os command injection.

This vulnerability is reported as CVE-2026-113378. The attack requires a local approach. Moreover, an exploit is present.

The real existence of this vulnerability is still doubted at the moment.

The code’s own escapeShellArg on sibling arguments (skipped only for fileType) indicates that this is a CWE-78 oversight, not a documented design. The project maintainer cites the documentation: “This MCP server executes shell commands using the ripgrep tool. While efforts have been made to safely escape arguments, use caution when providing input, as it runs commands on your machine.”VulDB Recent EntriesRead More
