MCP Stacks Hit 92% Exploit Probability at 10 Plugins: Pynt Research Quantifies Exponential Compound Risk in Enterprise Deployments
VentureBeat·high signal
VentureBeat reports Pynt research showing a single MCP plugin has 9% exploit probability, compounding exponentially to 92% at 10 plugins. 72% of MCPs expose sensitive capabilities (dynamic code execution, file system access, privileged API calls), 13% accept untrusted inputs (web scraping, Slack, email, RSS), and when these intersect (9% of real-world setups), attackers gain direct pathways to prompt injection, command execution, and data exfiltration without human approval. 38% of 500+ scanned servers completely lack authentication.
