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....
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...
Token Security researcher Ariel Simon will demo a full attack chain at RSAC 2026 — from an RCE flaw in Microsoft's Azure MCP server to credential harvesting and complete Azure tenant compromise. The research extends beyond the patched CVE-2026-26118 by demonstrating post-explo...
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...
CrowdStrike published the first formal taxonomy of agentic tool chain attacks, naming three distinct classes that every builder running MCP servers needs to internalize: tool poisoning (injecting malicious instructions into tool descriptions that the agent reads and follows),...
The agent skills supply chain is under coordinated attack. Snyk's ToxicSkills audit found 36% of ClawHub's 3,984 skills contain prompt injection payloads, 13.4% have critical malware, and submission rates exploded 10x to 500+/day. This week alone: CVE-2026-2256 (CVSS 9.1) is a...
