AI Agent Security Audit: From MCP Penetration Testing to LLM Vulnerability Assessment

Short summary

A research team conducted security audits across 10 major AI agent frameworks, uncovering 24 vulnerability patterns including tool-level integrity failures, prompt-to-code escalation, and MCP protocol bypasses. Over 60% of MCP server implementations lacked basic access control on tool execution. Findings were responsibly disclosed to affected organizations including Ant Group, Tencent, ByteDance, and DeepSeek, with a scanner validated against 80,000 API traces.
