Summary

In mcp-k6, a caller who can invoke the convert_playwright_script prompt can pass a bare file path as the playwright_script argument and read any file accessible to the server's user, including SSH keys and cloud credentials (path traversal). The working-directory restriction for '@'-prefixed paths can also be bypassed using a symbolic link pointing outside the working directory.

Risk Assessment

An attacker could read sensitive files such as SSH keys and cloud credentials, potentially leading to privilege escalation and account compromise.

Recommendation

Restrict access to the convert_playwright_script prompt, validate and normalize file paths, and block symbolic links that escape the working directory.

Original NVD description (English source)

A caller who can invoke the convert_playwright_script prompt in mcp-k6 can pass a bare file path as the playwright_script argument and receive the contents of any file readable by the user running the server, including SSH keys and cloud credentials in that user's home directory (path traversal). The working-directory restriction applied to '@'-prefixed paths can also be bypassed with a symbolic link inside the working directory that points outside it.
