# Obsidian MCP Plugin - Security and Code Quality Issues
|
|
|
|
This directory contains detailed GitHub issues documenting security vulnerabilities and code quality problems found during the security audit of the Obsidian MCP Plugin.
|
|
|
|
## 🔴 Critical Security Issues
|
|
|
|
### [01. No Authentication or Authorization](01-authentication-vulnerability.md)
|
|
- **Severity**: CRITICAL
|
|
- **Impact**: Any local application can access and manipulate the entire vault
|
|
- **Fix**: Implement API key authentication and CORS restrictions
|
|
|
|
### [02. Path Traversal Vulnerability](02-path-traversal-vulnerability.md)
|
|
- **Severity**: CRITICAL
|
|
- **Impact**: Access to files outside vault, system file exposure
|
|
- **Fix**: Implement comprehensive path validation and sanitization
|
|
|
|
## 🟠 High Priority Issues
|
|
|
|
### [03. Missing Input Validation](03-input-validation-missing.md)
|
|
- **Severity**: HIGH
|
|
- **Impact**: DoS attacks, memory exhaustion, application crashes
|
|
- **Fix**: Implement input validation framework with size/format limits
|
|
|
|
### [04. Insecure Session Management](04-insecure-session-management.md)
|
|
- **Severity**: HIGH
|
|
- **Impact**: Session hijacking, unauthorized access
|
|
- **Fix**: Replace UUID sessions with cryptographic tokens
|
|
|
|
## 🟡 Medium Priority Issues
|
|
|
|
### [05. SOLID Principles Violations](05-solid-principles-violations.md)
|
|
- **Severity**: MEDIUM
|
|
- **Impact**: Difficult maintenance, tight coupling, hard to extend
|
|
- **Fix**: Refactor into smaller, focused classes with dependency injection
|
|
|
|
### [06. Large Vault Scalability](06-large-vault-scalability.md)
|
|
- **Severity**: MEDIUM
|
|
- **Impact**: Performance degradation with 10,000+ files
|
|
- **Fix**: Implement scalable path validation strategies
|
|
|
|
## Quick Summary
|
|
|
|
The Obsidian MCP Plugin provides powerful functionality but has significant security vulnerabilities:
|
|
|
|
1. **No authentication** - Any local app can access your vault
|
|
2. **Path traversal** - Potential access to system files
|
|
3. **No input validation** - Risk of DoS and crashes
|
|
4. **Weak sessions** - Can be hijacked easily
|
|
5. **Code quality** - Difficult to maintain and extend
|
|
6. **Scalability** - Performance issues with large vaults
|
|
|
|
## Recommended Action Plan
|
|
|
|
### Immediate (Week 1)
|
|
1. Add basic API key authentication
|
|
2. Implement path traversal protection
|
|
3. Add input size limits
|
|
|
|
### Short-term (Weeks 2-3)
|
|
1. Replace session management
|
|
2. Add comprehensive input validation
|
|
3. Implement rate limiting
|
|
|
|
### Long-term (Month 2)
|
|
1. Refactor for SOLID principles
|
|
2. Implement scalable validation
|
|
3. Add security audit logging
|
|

## Security Disclosure
|
|
|
|
If you're using this plugin in production:
|
|
1. **Restrict network access** to localhost only
|
|
2. **Monitor** for unauthorized access attempts
|
|
3. **Consider alternatives** until security is improved
|
|
4. **Report issues** responsibly to the maintainers
