CVE-2025-15061

9.8 CRITICAL

📋 TL;DR

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on Framelink Figma MCP Server installations without authentication. Attackers can exploit improper input validation in the fetchWithRetry method to execute system commands. All users running vulnerable versions of this software are affected.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • Framelink Figma MCP Server
Versions: Versions prior to the fix
Operating Systems: All platforms where the software runs
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: The vulnerability exists in the core functionality and affects default installations. No special configuration is required for exploitation.

⚠️ Manual Verification Required

This CVE does not have specific version information in our database, so automatic vulnerability detection cannot determine if your system is affected.

Why? The CVE database entry doesn't specify which versions are vulnerable (no version ranges provided by the vendor/NVD).

Recommended Actions:
  1. Review the CVE details at NVD
  2. Check vendor security advisories for your specific version
  3. Test if the vulnerability is exploitable in your environment
  4. Consider updating to the latest version as a precaution

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Complete system compromise allowing attackers to execute arbitrary code with service account privileges, potentially leading to data theft, lateral movement, or ransomware deployment.

🟠

Likely Case

Remote code execution leading to unauthorized access, data exfiltration, or installation of backdoors on affected servers.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact if proper network segmentation and least privilege controls are implemented, though RCE would still be possible.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH
🏢 Internal Only: HIGH

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ✅ No
Weaponized: LIKELY
Unauthenticated Exploit: ⚠️ Yes
Complexity: LOW

The vulnerability requires no authentication and has low exploitation complexity, making it highly attractive to attackers. Public exploit code may emerge soon.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Check GitHub advisory for specific patched version

Vendor Advisory: https://github.com/GLips/Figma-Context-MCP/security/advisories/GHSA-gxw4-4fc5-9gr5

Restart Required: Yes

Instructions:

1. Review the GitHub security advisory. 2. Update to the latest patched version of Framelink Figma MCP Server. 3. Restart the service to apply the fix.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Network Isolation

all

Restrict network access to the Figma MCP Server to only trusted sources

Use firewall rules to block external access: iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport [MCP_PORT] -s [TRUSTED_IPS] -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport [MCP_PORT] -j DROP

Service Account Hardening

linux

Run the service with minimal privileges to limit potential damage

Create dedicated low-privilege user: sudo useradd -r -s /bin/false figma-mcp
sudo chown -R figma-mcp:figma-mcp /path/to/mcp/server

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Immediately isolate the affected server from the internet and restrict internal network access
  • Implement strict network monitoring and consider taking the service offline until patching is possible

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check if you're running a vulnerable version by comparing your installed version against the patched version mentioned in the GitHub advisory

Check Version:

Check the package.json or server startup logs for version information

Verify Fix Applied:

Verify you have updated to the patched version and test that the fetchWithRetry functionality works without allowing command injection

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual command execution patterns in system logs
  • Unexpected process spawns from the Figma MCP service account
  • Failed authentication attempts followed by successful command execution

Network Indicators:

  • Unusual outbound connections from the MCP server
  • Traffic to unexpected ports or IP addresses
  • Large data transfers from the server

SIEM Query:

source="figma-mcp.log" AND ("fetchWithRetry" OR "command" OR "exec") AND NOT user="expected_user"
