sublinear-time-solver: Arbitrary file write in consciousness-explorer / sublinear-time-solver MCP export_state
sublinear-time-solver is a Rust and WebAssembly library for solving asymmetric diagonally dominant systems in sublinear time. Prior to consciousness-explorer 1.1.2 and sublinear-time-solver 1.6.0, the export_state and import_state tools in src/consciousness-explorer/mcp/server.js pass the attacker-controlled filepath parameter to filesystem operations in src/consciousness-explorer/index.js without restricting the destination or rejecting traversal. The saveVectorToFile and loadVectorFromFile tools in src/mcp/server.ts contain the same sink class through the file_path parameter. An attacker able to invoke the MCP tools can read, write, or over
A vulnerability was found in ruvnet sublinear-time-solver 1.5.0. Affected by this vulnerability is the function export_state of the file src/consciousness-explorer/mcp/server.js of the component MCP Interface. The manipulation results in path traversal. The attack can be executed remotely. The exploit has been made public and could be used. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.
