Arbitrary Kusto queries via unvalidated table names
Published Mar 27, 2026 · Updated Mar 27, 2026
KQL injection in Azure Data Explorer MCP Server 1.1.0 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary Kusto queries. The get_table_schema, sample_table_data, and get_table_details handlers embed table_name directly into f-string queries without validation, so pipes, comments, or newlines change the intended KQL. Access to an enabled MCP tool is required; successful injection bypasses the metadata-tool trust boundary and can read or alter database data or interrupt availability.
