4th percentile - higher than 4% of all known CVEs

Summary

appium-mcp-server through 0.1.61 fails to validate or normalize file paths in the write_file and write_files_batch tools, allowing attackers to write files outside the intended PROJECT_ROOT directory. Attackers can supply absolute paths or relative paths with parent directory segments to overwrite arbitrary files with the server user's privileges, including shell profiles and configuration files in the home directory.

Risk Assessment

Risk of overwriting arbitrary files on the server, potentially leading to server user account takeover, system configuration modification, or privilege escalation.

Recommendation

Update appium-mcp-server to a patched version and restrict access to write_file and write_files_batch tools to trusted users only.
