Summary
pickle.loads()/pickle.dumps()withjson.loads()/json.dumps()inRedisCacheFixes #169
Problem
pickle.loads()on data from Redis can execute arbitrary code if an attacker gains write access to the Redis instance (CWE-502). This is a well-known deserialization vulnerability.Solution
Since MCP tool enrichment cache values are JSON-serializable (strings, dicts, lists),
jsonis a safe drop-in replacement that preserves functionality while eliminating the code execution risk.Changes
