CVE-2025-6514 is a critical OS command injection vulnerability in the open-source mcp-remote project. The flaw affects mcp-remote versions 0.0.5 through 0.1.15 and occurs when a client connects to an untrusted remote MCP server. According to the provided content, crafted input delivered through the authorization_endpoint response URL during the initial connection and authorization phase can cause mcp-remote to execute attacker-controlled operating system commands. mcp-remote acts as a local proxy that allows MCP clients such as Claude Desktop and similar tools to communicate with remote MCP servers, so exploitation is triggered on the client side by a malicious, hijacked, or intercepted server. The content further indicates platform-specific behavior: on Windows, arbitrary OS command execution is possible with full parameter control; on macOS and Linux, arbitrary executables may be launched with more limited parameter control.
