  • v1.1.9 Latest Aug 15, 2026 
    ## Security

- Harden allowlisted GNU `sort` and `gsort` arguments against external program execution and path escape.
- Reject `--compress-program`, `-o`/`--output`, `--files0-from`, and `-T`/`--temporary-directory`, including GNU abbreviations, attached values, clustered forms, and options after operands.
- Preserve ordinary sorting and option-like filenames after a discrete `--`.

Versions `<=1.1.8` are affected. Upgrade to `1.1.9` or later.

Fixes GHSA-74g6-ch7r-v7jr.

  • v1.1.8 Aug 8, 2026 
    ## Security

- Preserve literal pipe characters inside argv arguments. Pipeline syntax is now recognized only from a discrete `|` argv element.
- Prevent attached pipe arguments from creating unintended pipeline stages or bypassing command-specific argument policies such as the `awk` external-access check.
- Attached pipes are no longer implicit pipeline syntax. Use `["cmd1", "|", "cmd2"]`.

Fixes GHSA-q8pm-q3r2-q7cg and GHSA-7wg7-jj87-qp4c.

  • v1.1.7 Aug 4, 2026 
    ## Security

- Reject version-suffixed Python interpreter names such as `python2` and `python3.11`, including absolute-path forms, when admitted through command patterns.

PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/mcp-shell-server/1.1.7/

  • v1.1.6 Aug 4, 2026 
    ## Security

- Reject persistent `git config` invocations that can store executable Git configuration.
- Apply existing hardened policies to common alternate command names such as `gawk`, `gfind`, `gtar`, and `bsdtar`.
- Reject command-wrapper and shell-escape tools such as `timeout`, `nice`, `nohup`, `setsid`, `stdbuf`, `flock`, `less`, `vim`, and `ssh` by default.
- Document that command hardening is best-effort defense in depth, not a complete sandbox.

  • v1.1.5 Aug 2, 2026 
    ## Security

- Require MCP Python SDK `>=1.28.1` to address [GHSA-vj7q-gjh5-988w](https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-vj7q-gjh5-988w), where the WebSocket server transport did not validate Host/Origin headers.
- Includes the command argument hardening published in [GHSA-gvwf-5g64-3vvw](https://github.com/tumf/mcp-shell-server/security/advisories/GHSA-gvwf-5g64-3vvw). Versions `<=1.1.2` must upgrade to `1.1.3` or later.
