### Description (declared)

# fsguard-mcp

A filesystem + git MCP server that confines every operation to an allowed
directory tree using **symlink-resolved path containment**, not string
prefix matching.

## Why this exists

Anthropic's own official filesystem and git MCP servers (`@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem`, part of `modelcontextprotocol/servers`, 89.7k★) have carried **five separate path-confinement CVEs across two servers in ten months**, and the pattern is still active:

- **CVE-2025-53109 / CVE-2025-53110** (filesystem, CVSS 8.4/7.3) — the "allowed directory" check used naive `startsWith()` prefix matching, defeated by symlinks and by sibling directories that merely *share a string prefix* (e.g. an allowed `/home/user-safe` also matches `/home/user-safe-evil`), giving filesystem-wide read/write and a documented RCE path.
- **CVE-2025-68143 / CVE-2025-68144 / CVE-2025-68145** (git) — `git_init` accepted arbitrary unvalidated paths, `git_diff`/`git_checkout` passed user-controlled arguments straight to the `git` CLI (argument injection), and `--repository`-confined mode didn't actually verify `repo_path` stayed inside the confined directory.
- **CVE-2026-27735** (git, disclosed ~2 months before this project started) — `git_add`, implemented via GitPython's `repo.index.add()`, doesn't enforce working-tree boundaries for `../`-style paths, allowing staging and exfiltrating files outside the repo.
- A documented RCE chain: `git_init` in a writable directory → a malicious `.git/config` with a "clean" filter → a `.gitattributes` that applies it → `git_add` triggers the filter → arbitrary shell command runs.

Every one of these was patched with *another string/prefix check bolted onto that one function*. Nobody moved the boundary enforcement to a place a new tool can't simply forget to include — which is exactly how the fourth CVE landed four months after the first three were "fixed."
