Anthropic created the Model Context Protocol as the open standard for AI agent-to-tool communication. OpenAI adopted it in March 2025. Google DeepMind followed. Anthropic donated MCP to the Linux Foundation in December 2025. Downloads crossed 150 million. Then four researchers at OX Security found an architectural problem that affects all of them.MCP's STDIO transport, the default for connecting an AI agent to a local tool, executes any operating system command it receives. No sanitization. No execution boundary between configuration and command. A malicious command returns an error after the command has already run. The developer toolchain raises no flag.OX Security researchers Moshe Siman Tov Bustan, Mustafa Naamnih, Nir Zadok and Roni Bar scanned the ecosystem and found 7,000 serve [...]
The same connectivity that made Anthropic's Model Context Protocol (MCP) the fastest-adopted AI integration standard in 2025 has created enterprise cybersecurity's most dangerous blind spot. [...]
For decades, software companies designed their products for a single type of customer: a human being staring at a screen. Every button, menu, and dashboard existed to translate a person’s intention [...]
For more than three decades, modern CPUs have relied on speculative execution to keep pipelines full. When it emerged in the 1990s, speculation was hailed as a breakthrough — just as pipelining and [...]
A rogue AI agent at Meta passed every identity check and still exposed sensitive data to unauthorized employees in March. Two weeks later, Mercor, a $10 billion AI startup, confirmed a supply-chain br [...]
Anthropic announced Monday that users can now open and interact with popular business applications directly inside Claude, the company's AI assistant—a significant expansion that transforms the [...]
Anthropic on Monday launched a beta integration that connects its fast-growing Claude Code programming agent directly to Slack, allowing software engineers to delegate coding tasks without leaving the [...]
