Security flaw in MCP protocol exposes AI agents to attack

Original: MCP for agent-to-agent comms may be the riskiest protocol you've never heard of

A newly reported vulnerability in AI agents from Google and other companies has exposed what researchers call a structural flaw in the Model Context Protocol (MCP), a widely used standard for communication between AI agents. Security commentators warn that MCP's design creates systemic risks that many organisations adopting agentic AI have not yet considered, making it potentially one of the least understood security liabilities in the current AI stack.

Why now: New reporting on a vulnerability affecting major AI vendors has put a spotlight on the security of the fast-spreading MCP protocol.
