Summary

In mcp-server-arangodb up to 0.4.7, the arango_backup function in src/tools.ts within the MCP Interface is vulnerable to path traversal via manipulation of the outputDir argument. The attack can be launched remotely, and the exploit has been publicly disclosed. The project was notified but has not responded.

Risk Assessment

An attacker could write backup files to arbitrary filesystem locations, potentially overwriting critical files or exposing data. The maintainer's lack of response means a fix may not be available.

Recommendation

Restrict access to the MCP interface and validate the outputDir argument within the application; consider switching to an alternative solution or applying a custom patch until an official fix is released.
