1. MCP Probe Tool: Critical Prompt Injection Risk in Tool Descriptions Exposed

A critical security gap has been identified in the `mcp probe` tool's verification process, exposing AI agents to direct prompt injection attacks. Currently, when the probe successfully retrieves a `tools/list` response from an MCP server, it only flags authentication-bypass issues and discards the actual response payl...

2. GitHub Issue: MCP Endpoint Probe Lacks Critical CORS Misconfiguration Detection

A significant security gap has been identified in the `mcp probe` tool. The current verification process for MCP (Model Context Protocol) endpoints performs no analysis of Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) policies, leaving a critical vulnerability unaddressed. This omission is explicitly noted in the project's TODO...

3. WAST Tool Expands to Scan MCP Servers for AI Agent Security Vulnerabilities

The WAST security tool is set to implement a new `wast mcpscan` command, explicitly targeting the emerging and largely unaudited attack surface of Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. These servers, which expose tools to AI agents via JSON-RPC 2.0 over stdio, SSE, and HTTP, represent a critical new frontier for securi...
