From 8d801521c66493e5893eb38b39f68890b13adcf9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: andreykh89 Date: Sat, 11 Apr 2026 00:17:37 +0300 Subject: [PATCH 1/4] =?UTF-8?q?feat:=20add=20MCP=20tool=20pinning=20?= =?UTF-8?q?=E2=80=94=20rug=20pull=20defense=20for=20MCP=20servers?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Automatically hashes MCP server tool definitions (name, description, inputSchema) on first connection and blocks if they change on subsequent connections. This defends against "rug pull" attacks where a trusted MCP server silently modifies tool descriptions to inject malicious instructions. - Replace child.stdout.pipe() with readline interceptor in MCP gateway to inspect tools/list responses before forwarding to the agent - SHA-256 hash of canonicalized tool definitions, sorted by name - Pin storage at ~/.node9/mcp-pins.json (atomic writes, mode 0o600) - On mismatch: return JSON-RPC -32000 error with clear remediation steps - CLI: node9 mcp pin list/update/reset for pin management - 20 unit tests (hashing, storage, pin lifecycle) - 5 integration tests (first pin, match, rug pull block, re-pin, transparency) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) --- src/__tests__/mcp-gateway.integration.test.ts | 238 ++++++++++++++++++ src/__tests__/mcp-pin.unit.test.ts | 193 ++++++++++++++ src/cli.ts | 4 +- src/cli/commands/mcp-pin.ts | 74 ++++++ src/mcp-gateway/index.ts | 92 ++++++- src/mcp-pin.ts | 147 +++++++++++ 6 files changed, 746 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/__tests__/mcp-pin.unit.test.ts create mode 100644 src/cli/commands/mcp-pin.ts create mode 100644 src/mcp-pin.ts diff --git a/src/__tests__/mcp-gateway.integration.test.ts b/src/__tests__/mcp-gateway.integration.test.ts index 26e47d1..81ea3d7 100644 --- a/src/__tests__/mcp-gateway.integration.test.ts +++ b/src/__tests__/mcp-gateway.integration.test.ts @@ -705,3 +705,241 @@ rl.on('line', (line) => { } });

Pin file reads fail closed: corrupt/unreadable pin files now throw instead of silently returning empty (which re-trusted the upstream). Only ENOENT is treated as "no pin exists." 2. Session quarantine: tools/call is blocked until a tools/list pin check passes. Mismatch or corrupt pin state permanently quarantines the session — no tool calls forwarded until the operator resolves it. 3. Pin update is now a review flow: `mcp pin update` spawns the upstream, fetches current tools, diffs old vs new definitions, and requires explicit operator confirmation before re-pinning. 4. README updated with MCP tool pinning section explaining the rug pull defense and CLI commands.
