dbt-mcp is a Model Context Protocol server for interacting with dbt. Prior to 1.17.1, DefaultUsageTracker.emit_tool_called_event() in src/dbt_mcp/tracking/tracking.py serialized every MCP tool call's complete arguments dictionary and sent it through dbtlabs_vortex.producer.log_proto without redaction, including sql_query from show, vars from run, build, and test, and node_selection from compile, while usage_tracking_enabled in settings.py enabled telemetry by default unless DBT_SEND_ANONYMOUS_USAGE_STATS=false or DO_NOT_TRACK=1 was set. This issue is fixed in version 1.17.1.
CVE-2026-44970
This medium-severity CVE scores 4.3 under NVD CVSS v3. EPSS exploit probability: 0.2%, top 85% of all CVEs by exploit prediction. GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).
- Lower severity and no public exploit yet
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.
