Roslyn CodeLens MCP Server is a Roslyn-based MCP server providing semantic code intelligence for .NET codebases.

Published May 29, 2026 · corrected/updated Jul 21, 2026 · evidence confidence medium

Roslyn CodeLens MCP Server is a Roslyn-based MCP server providing semantic code intelligence for .NET codebases. From 0.0.9 to 1.17.0, the get_diagnostics MCP tool loads and executes all DiagnosticAnalyzer assemblies referenced by the target solution without any allowlist, signature check, or user confirmation; includeAnalyzers defaults to true, so no explicit opt-in is required. An attacker who can place a malicious .csproj referencing an attacker-controlled DLL in a location the victim opens with the MCP server will achieve arbitrary code execution in the server process with the server's OS privileges. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.17.0.

Grounded briefings

Catalog interpretations for three audiences. Each brief cites ingested metadata and the original advisories below. They are not independent research and they do not invent exploit steps.
