About

Security Report
This GIMP MCP server has critical security vulnerabilities stemming from unsafe command injection in script generation. User-supplied file paths and script code are directly interpolated into shell commands and Scheme/Python scripts without sanitization, allowing attackers to break out of intended operations and execute arbitrary code. The batch_process tool particularly enables unrestricted code execution. These are not theoretical issues—they represent real attack vectors. Supply chain analysis found 1 known vulnerability in dependencies (0 critical, 1 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue.
