SCA: security update for ios-simulator-mcp (GHSA-6f6r-m9pv-67jw)
medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 427904
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- iOS Simulator MCP Server (ios-simulator-mcp) is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for interacting with
iOS simulators. Versions prior to 1.3.3 are written in a way that is vulnerable to command injection
vulnerability attacks as part of some of its MCP Server tool definition and implementation. The MCP Server
exposes the tool `ui_tap` which relies on Node.js child process API `exec` which is an unsafe and
vulnerable API if concatenated with untrusted user input. LLM exposed user input for `duration`, `udid`,
and `x` and `y` args can be replaced with shell meta-characters like `;` or `&&` or others to change the
behavior from running the expected command `idb` to another command. When LLMs are tricked through prompt
injection (and other techniques and attack vectors) to call the tool with input that uses special shell
characters such as `; rm -rf /tmp;#` and other payload variations, the full command-line text will be
interepted by the shell and result in other commands except of `ps` executing on the host running the MCP
Server. Version 1.3.3 contains a patch for the issue. (CVE-2025-52573)
