Security Report

4.2

Use Caution4.2High Risk

The MikroTik MCP server is a network device management tool that communicates with RouterOS devices via SSH using Paramiko. The codebase demonstrates reasonable security practices with proper use of environment variables for credentials and context-aware logging. However, command injection vulnerabilities exist through unvalidated string interpolation in MikroTik RouterOS commands, and there are broad permissions that match the server's purpose but warrant user awareness. The server lacks input validation on user-supplied parameters before constructing RouterOS CLI commands. Supply chain analysis found 10 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (0 critical, 5 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue.
