Anthropic MCP Design Vulnerability Enables RCE, Threatening AI Supply Chain

Mon, 20 Apr 2026 12:42:00 +0200

Cybersecurity researchers have discovered a critical "by design" weakness in the Model Context Protocol's (MCP) architecture that could pave the way for remote code execution and have a cascading effect on the artificial intelligence (AI) supply chain. "This flaw enables Arbitrary Command Execution (RCE) on any system running a vulnerable MCP implementation, granting attackers direct access to
