SCA: security update for @aborruso/ckan-mcp-server (GHSA-3xm7-qw7j-qc8v)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 438958

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - CKAN MCP Server is a tool for querying CKAN open data portals. Versions prior to 0.4.85 provide tools
 including ckan_package_search and sparql_query that accept a base_url parameter, making HTTP requests to
 arbitrary endpoints without restriction. A CKAN portal client has no legitimate reason to contact cloud
 metadata or internal network services. There is no URL validation on base_url parameter. No private IP
 blocking (RFC 1918, link-local 169.254.x.x), no cloud metadata blocking. The sparql_query and
 ckan_datastore_search_sql tools also accept arbitrary base URLs and expose injection surfaces. An attack
 can lead to internal network scanning, cloud metadata theft (IAM credentials via IMDS at 169.254.169.254),
 potential SQL/SPARQL injection via unsanitized query parameters. Attack requires prompt injection to
 control the base_url parameter. This issue has been fixed in version 0.4.85. (CVE-2026-33060)

Solution

Update the @aborruso/ckan-mcp-server library and its related packages to version 0.4.85 or later.
