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 escalatable to full Azure tenant takeover. Defense: isolate MCP server processes from IMDS endpoints and apply network egress filtering blocking [redacted]. Yahoo Finance / GlobeNewswire

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...
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's RSAC 2026 presentation documents an RCE chain in Microsoft's Azure MCP server that compromises entire cloud environments. 38% of 500+ public MCP servers have no authentication. Every tool parameter is an untrusted injection surface. Source
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),...
Azure MCP Server SSRF (CVSS 8.8). A malicious URL instead of an Azure resource identifier leaks the managed identity token, granting access to any Azure resource the MCP Server can reach. MCP is transitioning from a protocol curiosity to a security perimeter. TheHackerWire
