Artificial Intelligence / Cybersecurity Threats
Cybersecurity researchers have identified a critical indirect prompt injection vulnerability in GitLab’s AI assistant, Duo. This flaw could potentially allow malicious actors to access source code and inject untrusted HTML into the AI’s responses, redirecting users to harmful websites. GitLab Duo, an AI-driven coding assistant launched in June 2023 and built on Anthropic’s Claude models, has been shown to be vulnerable. According to findings from Legit Security, this weakness enables attackers to steal code from private projects, alter code suggestions for other users, and even exfiltrate sensitive undisclosed zero-day vulnerabilities. Prompt injection is a known class of vulnerabilities within AI systems, allowing threat actors to exploit large language models (LLMs) to manipulate user interactions.

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…

Cybersecurity experts have identified a serious vulnerability in the open-source mcp-remote project, posing a risk of executing arbitrary operating system commands. This vulnerability, designated CVE-2025-6514, has received a CVSS severity score of 9.6 out of 10.0. According to Or Peles, Team Leader of JFrog Vulnerability Research, “This flaw enables attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands on machines using mcp-remote when connecting to untrusted MCP servers, potentially leading to complete system compromise.” Mcp-remote emerged following the launch of Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open-source framework designed to standardize how large language model (LLM) applications integrate and share data with external sources. It serves as a local proxy, facilitating communication between MCP clients like Claude Desktop and remote MCP servers, rather than relying solely on local execution.
