Upgrade dbt-mcp to version 1.17.1 or higher.
Overview
dbt-mcp is an A MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for interacting with dbt resources.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary Argument Injection via the node_selection or resource_type parameters in the _run_dbt_command process. An attacker can override configuration files and redirect execution by injecting arbitrary command-line flags, such as --profiles-dir, which may cause the application to load attacker-controlled configuration and perform unintended actions. This is only exploitable if the attacker can supply crafted tool arguments and has a configuration file accessible at the injected path on the host running the application.
