  • Type of vulnerability (e.g., input validation, authentication bypass, etc.)
  • Full paths of source file(s) related to the manifestation of the issue
  • Location of the affected source code (tag/branch/commit or direct URL)
  • Any special configuration required to reproduce the issue
  • Step-by-step instructions to reproduce the issue
  • Proof-of-concept or exploit code (if possible)
  • Impact of the issue, including how an attacker might exploit it

Security Best Practices

When using HUMMBL MCP Server:

Input Validation

  • The server validates all inputs using Zod schemas
  • Problem descriptions are sanitized before processing
  • Model codes are validated against regex patterns

Dependencies

  • We use minimal dependencies (only @modelcontextprotocol/sdk and zod)
  • Dependencies are regularly updated via Dependabot
  • All dependencies are scanned for known vulnerabilities

Runtime Security

  • The server runs with minimal privileges
  • No file system access beyond read-only configuration
  • No network connections except MCP protocol communication
  • All errors are logged without exposing sensitive information

Integration Security

When integrating HUMMBL MCP Server:

  1. Authentication: Use Claude Desktop's built-in authentication
  2. Network: Run on localhost only (default)
  3. Permissions: Grant minimal required permissions
  4. Monitoring: Enable logging to detect unusual activity
  5. Updates: Keep the server updated to the latest version

Known Security Considerations

Input Sanitization

  • Problem descriptions accept arbitrary text input
  • Current implementation has basic length validation
  • Future versions will include enhanced content filtering

Rate Limiting

  • No rate limiting is implemented at the server level
  • Claude Desktop provides rate limiting at the client level
  • Consider implementing additional rate limiting for production deployments

Audit Logging

  • Server logs to stderr for MCP protocol compliance
  • No persistent audit logs are maintained
  • Consider external log aggregation for compliance requirements

Security Updates

Security updates will be released as:

  • Critical: Immediate patch release (within 24 hours)
  • High: Patch release within 7 days
  • Medium: Patch release within 30 days
  • Low: Included in next regular release
