The AI Agent Attack Surface: Why MCP Servers Are the New Supply Chain

The Model Context Protocol is the new glue between agents and production tools — and a new attack surface nobody is auditing. A technical deep-dive into the five MCP-specific vulnerability classes, why static analysis misses them, and how to build an audit pipeline that catches composition bugs across servers.

Phase 2 Active Verification: How We Cut False Positives to Near-Zero Without Sacrificing Recall

Second-opinion LLM classification reduces false positives. Actively exploiting the candidate in a sandbox eliminates them. A technical deep-dive into the Phase 2 architecture — with prompt templates, heuristic cascade, and benchmark data from a 36-finding E2E test.

Building an Attack Chain Engine: Cross-Product Vulnerability Correlation

How we built a correlation engine that joins network scans, DAST findings, static analysis, and traffic data into unified attack chains — automatically escalating severity when evidence from multiple tools converges on the same target.

Why RAG Changes Everything for AI Vulnerability Scanning

Generic LLMs hallucinate vulnerabilities. Retrieval-Augmented Generation grounds every finding in real exploit data, CWE definitions, and your own scan history — turning AI security tools from impressive demos into reliable scanners.
