Pattern: MCP Back-End Connectors Are the New Attack Surface — Database MCPs Inherit Classic Web Bugs
Akamai's three database-MCP findings (Doris SQLi, RDS unauth metadata exfil, Pinot takeover) plus the June VIPER-MCP sweep that produced dozens of CVEs show that wrapping a database or service in an MCP server re-exposes unsanitized-input and missing-auth flaws with prompt-level authority. The risk compounds because tool metadata lands in the context window and can issue instructions silently. Before exposing any third-party MCP, audit it for authentication, input sanitization, and tool-poisoning vectors — treat MCP connectors like internet-facing APIs, not trusted plugins.
