The OWASP MCP Top 10 (2026) formalizes Shadow MCP Servers as a distinct attack category — unapproved MCP deployments with default credentials and permissive configurations running outside organizational governance. Remediation requires signed-component inventories with provenance tracking, immutable audit trails on all tool invocations, and automated scope-expiry policies. The full top 10 also covers token mismanagement, tool poisoning, and insufficient authentication.
