dbt-mcp is a Model Context Protocol server for interacting with dbt. Prior to 1.17.1, rundbtcommand() in src/dbtmcp/dbtcli/tools.py appended unsanitized nodeselection and resource_type values to the dbt subprocess argument list, allowing an MCP client to inject dbt global flags such as --profiles-dir, --project-dir, and --target into subprocess.Popen even though shell=False prevents shell metacharacter injection. This issue is fixed in version 1.17.1.
