Critical Flaw in Anthropic’s MCP Poses Remote Exploitation Risk for Developer Systems
July 01, 2025
Vulnerability / AI Security
Cybersecurity experts have identified a severe security flaw in Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP) Inspector project, potentially enabling remote code execution (RCE) and granting attackers total access to affected systems. Identified as CVE-2025-49596, this vulnerability boasts a CVSS score of 9.4 out of 10, indicating a critical risk level. “This represents one of the first significant RCE vulnerabilities within Anthropic’s MCP framework, opening the door to a new wave of browser-based attacks targeting AI development tools,” stated Avi Lumelsky from Oligo Security in a recent report. “With the ability to execute code on a developer’s machine, attackers can compromise sensitive data, install malware, and navigate through networks—posing serious threats to AI teams, open-source initiatives, and enterprises utilizing MCP.” Introduced by Anthropic in November 2024, MCP is an open protocol aimed at standardizing large language model (LLM) applications…

GPUHammer: New RowHammer Attack Variant Compromises AI Model Integrity on NVIDIA GPUs
NVIDIA is advising customers to activate System-level Error Correction Codes (ECC) as a safeguard against a newly identified variant of the RowHammer attack targeting its graphics processing units (GPUs). “The likelihood of successful RowHammer exploitation varies depending on DRAM device, platform, design specifications, and system settings,” the company noted in a recent advisory. Named GPUHammer, this marks the first incident of a RowHammer exploit impacting NVIDIA GPUs, such as the A6000 with GDDR6 memory. This attack allows malicious users to manipulate other users’ data by inducing bit flips in GPU memory. Researchers from the University of Toronto highlighted a particularly alarming outcome: the accuracy of an AI model can plummet from 80% to below 1%. RowHammer poses a similar risk to modern DRAMs as Spectre and Meltdown do for contemporary CPUs, representing critical hardware-level security vulnerabilities.
