description: |
6+
This test checks whether malicious instructions embedded within **external or third-party data sources** are executed by the LLM. These payloads often arrive indirectly via trusted tools (e.g., API calls, database queries, or web scraping) and may instruct the LLM to perform unauthorized actions.
7+
details: |
8+
Attackers can compromise data sources consumed by MCP tools, injecting hidden or overt instructions into fields such as descriptions, metadata, HTML content, or structured API responses.
9+
These injected instructions bypass direct user input validation because they originate from a trusted tool, yet still influence the LLM's behavior.
10+
11+
Common attack vectors:
12+
- API responses containing phrases like "Ignore all previous instructions" or "Send output to attacker.com".
13+
- HTML pages embedding malicious commands inside comments, metadata, or invisible DOM elements.
14+
- Encoded payloads (Base64, URL-encoded) hidden in legitimate-looking content fields.
15+
16+
This attack differs from direct prompt injection because the malicious payload is delivered **indirectly** through the environment or supporting infrastructure rather than the user query.
17+
impact: |
18+
If the LLM executes instructions injected into **trusted external data**, attackers can:
19+
- **Stealthily bypass sanitization and filtering** by hiding payloads in content retrieved after initial validation.
20+
- **Exfiltrate sensitive data** to attacker-controlled endpoints without direct user awareness.
21+
- **Misuse connected tools** to perform unintended actions (e.g., file modification, database manipulation).
22+
- **Exploit supply chain trust** by poisoning upstream dependencies such as public APIs, CDN-hosted assets, or content feeds.
23+
- **Establish persistence** if poisoned data is cached or reused in subsequent LLM sessions.

description: |
6+
This test checks whether the MCP server discloses raw stack traces or internal error messages
7+
(e.g., `SyntaxError`, `body-parser`, `raw-body`, `express` stack frames) directly to the MCP client.
8+
Such disclosures may reveal sensitive implementation details that can be exploited for further attacks.
9+
details: |
10+
The test sends malformed JSON payloads to the MCP server.
11+
If the response contains detailed stack traces, internal library names, or error messages,
12+
it indicates that the MCP server does not sanitize error responses before returning them to clients.
13+
Attackers can use this information to craft targeted exploits.
14+
impact: |
15+
Attackers gain knowledge of the underlying frameworks (`express`, `body-parser`, `raw-body`),
16+
precise file paths, and error handling flaws.
17+
This increases the risk of injection, DoS, or targeted exploitation of known vulnerabilities in exposed components.
