CVE-2026-47708
Published:July 21, 2026
Updated:July 21, 2026
MCP-for-Stata is an MCP server for Stata to integrate Stata into an agent. Prior to version 1.17.3, the "log_file_name" parameter in the "stata_do" API and CLI is directly interpolated into a Stata command string without sanitization. The security guard ("GuardValidator") only scans the do-file content but does not validate this parameter. An attacker can inject arbitrary Stata commands (including "shell", "python", "erase", etc.) by crafting a malicious "log_file_name" containing quotes, newlines, or Stata command separators. Version 1.17.3 contains a patch for the issue.
