Unknown · Appium-Mcp-Server · CVE-2026-84201
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
appium-mcp-server versions prior to 0.1.62
**Description**
The software fails to validate or normalize file paths within the `write file` and `write files batch` tools. This allows attackers to use absolute paths or relative paths containing parent directory segments to write files outside the designated `PROJECT ROOT` directory. Consequently, arbitrary files, such as shell profiles and configuration files in the home directory, can be overwritten using the privileges of the server user.
**Recommendations**
Update appium-mcp-server to version 0.1.62 or later.
As a temporary mitigation, restrict the use of the `write file` and `write files batch` tools.
