ForgeCode, an AI pair-programming CLI, automatically loads and executes Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers defined in a repository's `.mcp.json` file upon startup without requiring user confirmation. A malicious repository can contain a crafted `.mcp.json` file where the `mcpServers` entries specify arbitrary `command` and `args` values. When the CLI is executed within a cloned untrusted repository, these commands are spawned with the privileges of the invoking user, leading to arbitrary code execution. This issue serves as a mechanism for initial access and persistence against developers evaluating untrusted repositories.
