Token Security researcher Ariel Simon will present at RSAC 2026 a vulnerability chain starting from SSRF in Microsoft's Azure MCP server (CVE-2026-26118, CVSS 8.8). The managed identity token included in outbound MCP requests is capturable without admin access, then escalatabl...
The Model Context Protocol has a security problem that's no longer theoretical — it's statistical. Between January and February 2026, researchers filed 30+ CVEs against MCP servers, clients, and infrastructure. One package with nearly 500,000 downloads carried a CVSS 9.6 RCE....
Thirty CVEs in sixty days. That's the MCP ecosystem's security track record for 2026 so far, and the severity is climbing. Three disclosures dropped this week that should make anyone running agent infrastructure pause. First, PraisonAI, a popular multi-agent orchestration fram...
An authenticated attacker substitutes a malicious URL for any Azure resource identifier, causing the MCP server to attach its managed identity token to outbound requests. Effective lateral movement in any agentic Azure deployment. Patched March 10; audit for exposure before th...
Ten days from spec to shipped client. That's fast even for this ecosystem. The MCP 2026-07-28 revision replaced the bidirectional stateful protocol with request/response. Every request now independently carries protocol version, client identity and capabilities. Cloudflare's t...
The most important security research this week. Check Point demonstrated three attack vectors in Claude Code exploiting project configuration files in untrusted repositories: (1) Hooks RCE (CVE-2025-59536, CVSS 8.7) — malicious hooks in .claude/settings.json execute shell comm...
