CVE-2025-53832Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Host command execution via unsanitized TMX URL

Published Jul 21, 2025 · Updated Jul 21, 2025

Command injection in Translated's Lara Translate MCP Server 0.0.11 and earlier allows attackers to execute host commands via a crafted TMX URL. The importTmx function embeds the unvalidated tmx_url value in a curl command passed to child_process.exec, allowing shell metacharacters to alter the command. Execution requires the import_tmx tool to process the crafted value, including when an MCP client follows injected instructions in untrusted content; commands run with server-process privileges.
