Aggregated 2026 tracking from the Vulnerable MCP Project and Practical DevSecOps shows the MCP attack surface is now well-catalogued: command injection leads, with exposed-listener and SSRF classes close behind. (Practical DevSecOps) The upside of a catalogued attack surface is that pre-ship threat modeling against known classes is now table stakes, not guesswork. If you ship an MCP server, test it against command injection and SSRF before anyone else does it for you.
