Akamai disclosed SQL injection in the Apache Doris MCP server, an unauthenticated metadata-exfiltration flaw in Alibaba's RDS MCP, and a potential takeover in Apache Pinot's MCP. The failure modes are boring and that's the point. Unsanitized SQL input, missing authentication, unauthenticated data exposure. Classic web-app bugs shipping in MCP servers because nobody treated the MCP layer as a real network boundary. "One is a fluke, three is a pattern." If you expose a database through MCP, parameterize every query, require auth on every endpoint, and run it through the same review you'd give any public API.
