CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe Apify MCP server is vulnerable due to improper validation of allowlisted documentation domains in the fetch-apify-docs tool, which could allow attackers to exploit this flaw by injecting malicious URLs. This could lead to the retrieval of arbitrary content, potentially compromising the integrity of data processed by AI agents. Organizations using versions prior to 0.9.21 should prioritize updating to mitigate the risk of exploitation.

Original NVD Description
The Apify MCP server enables AI agents to extract data from websites using ready-made scrapers, crawlers, and automation tools available on the Apify Store. Prior to 0.9.21, the fetch-apify-docs tool in src/tools/common/fetch_apify_docs.ts validates allowlisted documentation domains with String.startsWith() rather than URL hostname comparison, allowing attacker-controlled URLs such as `https://docs.apify.com.evil.com/` and `https://docs.apify.com@evil.com/` to pass the ALLOWED_DOC_DOMAINS check and return arbitrary fetched content to the LLM. This issue is fixed in version 0.9.21.
