From ca2e98f7b814199e842aae7c5adabd392b11403b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Algis Dumbris Date: Fri, 12 Jun 2026 09:29:35 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] fix(security): source-less in-process TPA description scanner (MCP-2082) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Remote http/sse servers have no source files or Docker container, so every bundled (Docker-image) scanner prefails on image availability and the engine reports "all scanners failed" / "No Source Available" with Risk 0 — even though the connected server's tool descriptions/schemas are available and should still get a Tool-Poisoning-Attack scan. Add a built-in, Docker-less scanner `tpa-descriptions` that runs in-process for any connected server: - ScannerPlugin gains an InProcess flag; such scanners seed as "installed" (always on) and skip the Docker image-availability gate. - The engine branches to runInProcessScanner, which reads the exported tools.json and runs description/schema heuristics (hidden instructions, prompt-injection phrasing, data-exfiltration hints) plus embedded-secret detection via the existing security.Detector. - The description scan is a Pass-1 concern; Pass-2 (supply chain audit) skips it. Result: a remote server with no source still produces a real description-based TPA scan + risk score that COMPLETES, instead of the dead-end.
