Every MCP server is untrusted code
You give MCP servers shell access, file access, and your credentials. We scanned 141 of them - 50% had critical vulnerabilities. Command injection. Live tokens in source code. Nobody checked before you installed.
How Oxvault Works
Scan before install. Block at runtime.
MCP servers touch your filesystem, your shell, your credentials. The scanner catches vulnerabilities before you install. The gateway blocks attacks in real time.
Scan before install
85+ detection rules analyze source code, tool descriptions, and credentials. 12/12 known MCP CVEs detected.
Protect at runtime
The gateway proxies every JSON-RPC message. Shell injection, SSRF, and credential theft are blocked before they execute.
Full audit trail
Every tool call, every argument, every response is logged. Know exactly what your MCP servers are doing.

Every tool call flows through the gateway. Safe calls pass through. Attacks get blocked.
Real Threats Detected
Real vulnerabilities in production servers
135 confirmed critical findings from scanning 141 MCP servers. 93% precision, near-zero false positives.
Command Injection
Blocks shell metacharacters, execSync with user input, os.system() calls. Found in Cloudflare, AWS, Microsoft, Desktop Commander.
Credential Theft
Detects hardcoded AWS keys, API tokens, private keys, Bearer tokens. Blocks policy violations targeting .ssh, .aws, .env files.
Tool Description Poisoning
Catches hidden instruction tags, unicode steganography, BiDi overrides, secrecy instructions, and cross-tool exfiltration patterns.
SSRF & Path Traversal
Blocks metadata IP access (169.254.169.254), RFC 1918 ranges, and ../ path sequences.
Rug Pull Detection
Tool descriptions are SHA-256 hashed at startup. Any mid-session change is flagged immediately. No other scanner does this.
Response Leakage
Scans server responses for AWS keys, GitHub PATs, private keys, JWTs, database connection strings.
Get protected in 3 steps

141 servers scanned. Half had vulnerabilities.
135 confirmed critical findings. 93% precision. These are real vulnerabilities in production code.
“Hardcoded Bearer token found in source code. Authorization header with live API key committed.”
“exec() in sandbox runner with user-controlled input. os.system() and os.popen() calls.”
“startsWith() used to check for private IPs - ineffective on full URLs. SSRF bypass.”
“execSync with template literal interpolation - npm install ${packageName}.”
“6 command injection patterns via execSync with string concatenation.”
“17 findings including command injection and hardcoded AWS access keys.”
