The paper proposes a multi-layered security framework to detect and mitigate SQL injection attacks that occur when Large Language Models translate natural language prompts into database queries.

The paper introduces MCPSHIELD, a comprehensive formal security framework that systematically characterizes and provides a defense-in-depth architecture for the rapidly adopted but insecure Model Cont…

The paper proposes an architectural proxy (MCP) to enforce robust, reliable tool access control for LLM agents, demonstrating that this structural enforcement is necessary because prompt-based restric…

This paper introduces a component-centric framework and a novel detector, Connor, to understand and detect sophisticated, multi-component attacks targeting the Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers.

VIPER-MCP is a novel, end-to-end automated framework that detects and dynamically confirms the exploitability of taint-style vulnerabilities in Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, achieving high-fid…

The paper evaluates two novel LLM-based systems, RADAGAS and RefleXQLi, for generating adversarial SQL injection payloads, finding that RADAGAS-GPT4o achieves a high bypass rate, particularly against…

The paper introduces a defense-placement taxonomy for the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to systematically analyze security gaps, revealing that many vulnerabilities stem from architectural misalignment…

The paper proposes CASCADE, a novel three-tiered, fully local defense architecture for detecting prompt injection and tool poisoning attacks in Model Context Protocol (MCP)-based LLM systems, achievin…

The paper empirically analyzes the susceptibility of seven widely used AI-assisted development tools (MCP clients) to prompt injection via tool-poisoning, revealing significant disparities in their se…

This paper analyzes the security vulnerabilities of the Model Context Protocol (MCP), identifying tool poisoning as the most critical client-side threat, and proposes a multi-layered defense strategy.

The paper proposes an end-to-end LLM framework that automates SOC operations by integrating ensemble-based threat detection, syntax-constrained query generation, and evidence-grounded incident resolut…

The paper introduces an automated framework demonstrating that LLM system instructions are vulnerable to encoding attacks, where structured output requests can bypass safety refusals and leak sensitiv…

The Device Context Protocol (DCP) introduces a compact, safety-first communication standard designed to allow LLMs to reliably control resource-constrained physical microcontrollers, significantly imp…

The paper introduces AgentSecBench, a security evaluation framework that measures prompt injection, privacy leakage, and tool-use integrity in LLM agents by defining formal security games and testing…

This study provides the first measurement of authentication security in real-world remote Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, finding pervasive and critical authentication weaknesses, particularly i…

The paper introduces mcp-attested, a security extension to the Model Context Protocol (MCP) that allows hosts to safely admit and restrict the tools used by external, third-party tool servers.

This paper proposes HCP, a Handle-Capability Protocol runtime for MCP-style agent systems, which implements eight execution-control invariants to enhance security while preserving MCP-like workflows.

The paper introduces Tree structured Injection for Payloads (TIP), a novel black-box attack framework that reliably generates stealthy injection payloads to seize control of LLM agents utilizing the M…
