BlenderMCP's download_polyhaven_asset tool fails to sanitize file paths derived from external API response keys, allowing an attacker who controls or intercepts that response to write files anywhere on disk, including dotfiles like .bashrc. This can be triggered either via a man-in-the-middle attack on the PolyHaven API or via a prompt injection that convinces the agent to fetch a malicious asset, ultimately leading to persistent code execution on the host running the MCP server.
