CyberRota Analysis

AI-Generated

Repomix versions prior to 1.14.1 are vulnerable due to inadequate validation in the MCP server's attach_packed_output and read_repomix_output functions, allowing unauthorized access to arbitrary local files such as .json, .txt, .md, or .xml. This flaw can lead to the exposure of sensitive information, as it bypasses the intended secret-scanning mechanisms. Organizations using Repomix should prioritize upgrading to version 1.14.1 to mitigate potential data breaches.

Original NVD Description

Repomix is a tool that packs repositories into AI-friendly files. Prior to 1.14.1, the Repomix MCP server attach_packed_output and read_repomix_output flow can register and read arbitrary local .json, .txt, .md, or .xml files without the file_system_read_file runSecretLint() safety check or Repomix packed-output validation, allowing MCP callers to bypass the local file-read secret-scanning boundary. This issue is fixed in version 1.14.1.
