CVE-2025-6514 is an OS command-injection vulnerability in mcp-remote versions 0.0.5 through 0.1.15, a local proxy that connects MCP clients to remote MCP servers. During connection establishment and authorization, an untrusted server can supply a crafted authorization_endpoint URL that reaches operating-system command execution without adequate sanitization. On Windows, exploitation permits arbitrary OS commands with full parameter control; on macOS and Linux, it permits execution of arbitrary executables with limited parameter control. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 score of 9.6.
