Untrusted prompt input could reach the Gemini CLI @file parser, allowing read/exfiltration of arbitrary local files (@/etc/passwd, @~/.ssh/id_rsa, @../../secret). On Windows, unquoted cmd.exe metacharacters could break out into OS command injection. Fix (1.1.6): removed the broken shell:false double-quote wrapping; added assertSafeFileReferences() to contain @file refs to the working directory; hardened Windows cmd.exe argument quoting.
Update gemini-mcp-tool to 1.1.6 if you use the affected versions. Test the change in a non-production environment first.

hol-guard supply-chain scangemini-mcp-tool vulnerable to OS command injection and @file exfiltration via prompt quoting (CVE-2026-0755) affects gemini-mcp-tool (npm). Severity is critical. Untrusted prompt input could reach the Gemini CLI @file parser, allowing read/exfiltration of arbitrary local files (@/etc/passwd, @~/.ssh/id_rsa, @../../secret). On Windows, unquoted cmd.exe metacharacters could break out into OS command injection. Fix (1.1.6): removed the broken shell:false double-quote wrapping; added assertSafeFileReferences() to contain @file refs to the working directory; hardened Windows cmd.exe argument quoting.
AI coding agents often install or upgrade packages automatically in npm. A critical vulnerability in a dependency can be pulled into a project through a normal install or update without a human reviewing the change, expanding the blast radius from a single package to every agent workspace that depends on it.
