Unauthenticated command execution via jar path interpolation
Published Apr 8, 2026 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
OS command injection in Ivan Dachev MCP Java Decompiler Server 1.2.0 through 1.2.4 allows remote attackers to execute commands. The decompileFromJar path in index.js interpolates the untrusted jarFilePath value into execPromise shell strings for JAR listing and extraction. An unauthenticated caller able to invoke the decompile-from-jar MCP tool can run commands with the server process's privileges, enabling host data access, modification, and service interruption.
