MCP is the New Attack Surface
The Model Context Protocol has become the universal standard for connecting AI to enterprise tools. Microsoft Copilot, Azure AI, GitHub, and thousands of applications now use MCP - and attackers have taken notice.
2025 saw a wave of critical vulnerabilities: CVE-2025-6514 (CVSS 9.6) enabled RCE through mcp-remote with 437,000+ downloads. The Smithery hosting platform breach compromised 3,000+ MCP servers. Tool poisoning attacks exfiltrated WhatsApp chat histories.
This guide provides security leaders with a comprehensive framework for understanding MCP threats and implementing effective controls - from architecture decisions to incident response.
