Disclosed vulnerabilities in this server's declared npm dependencies (via OSV). Whether each is reachable depends on the installed versions.
@modelcontextprotocol/sdk has cross-client data leak via shared server/transport instance reuse
Anthropic's MCP TypeScript SDK has a ReDoS vulnerability
Model Context Protocol (MCP) TypeScript SDK does not enable DNS rebinding protection by default
HORTUSFOX_API_TOKEN✅ API key created in the HortusFox admin panelHORTUSFOX_TIMEOUT❌ Request timeout in milliseconds (default 30000)HORTUSFOX_URL✅ Base URL of your HortusFox instance, e.g. https://garden.example.comTool annotations
No tools have read-only/destructive annotations
Add readOnlyHint or destructiveHint annotations to every tool so hosts can warn users before invoking.
All four hints declared on every tool
38/38 tools missing one or more hints — hortusfox_export_backup (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); hortusfox_import_backup (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); hortusfox_fetch_calendar (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +35 more. OpenAI's directory rejects tools where any of the four hints are missing or non-boolean.
For every tool, set all four hints (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint) to explicit true/false values that match the handler’s actual behaviour.
Tests exist
No test files found
Add tests that exercise each declared tool.
Production dependencies are patched
0 critical, 3 high severity in production deps — @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.12.0 (high), @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.12.0 (high)
Run npm audit fix, or upgrade the affected packages to a non-vulnerable version.
