Summary

Kali-GPT through commit a608c74 contains an OS command injection vulnerability in execute_tool() in kali_gpt/tools/mcp_server.py. MCP clients can run commands via unsanitized scanner parameters such as target, ports, domain, wordlist, or url, executed via subprocess.run with shell=True.

Risk Assessment

Attackers or prompt-injected agents can execute arbitrary commands as the MCP server user, potentially leading to full system compromise.

Recommendation

Update Kali-GPT to a patched version or restrict access to the MCP server. Consider running the server in an isolated environment with minimal privileges.
