Story

30 MCP CVEs Mapped Into Three Attack Layers — Comprehensive mapping: Layer 1 (Execution, 43%): 13 exec/shell injection CVEs. Layer 2 (Tooling, 20%): 6 CVEs targeting dev infrastructure — MCP Watch (a security scanner!) has command injection in its own repo cloning. Layer 3 (New classes, 14%): eval() and env var injection. 38% of 560 scanned servers have no auth. Your MCP security tools may themselves be vulnerable. (DEV Community / Kai Security)
