The advisory

mac-shell-mcp before 2.0.0 contains an OS command injection vulnerability that allows MCP clients to bypass the command whitelist by injecting shell metacharacters into execute_command arguments. Attackers or malicious prompts can call a safe command such as pwd with arguments like ';' to run forbidden commands as the server user without approval.

Check your whole app

Dependencies are only half of it. Free and read-only: before you push, run npx shippable-dev scan localhost:3000 in your project folder, no account needed. For your live app, you prove it's yours with a one-line tag first.
