Description
xszyou Fay 4.3.1 contains a remote code execution vulnerability in its MCP STDIO server management and command execution handling. A remote attacker can access the publicly exposed MCP management interface and configure an MCP STDIO server with attacker-controlled commands and parameters, resulting in execution of arbitrary commands on the server. Successful exploitation allows arbitrary command execution within the context of the Fay service.
