Threat researchers recently disclosed a severe vulnerability in a Figma Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, as reported by The Hacker News. While the specific patch is important, the discovery itself serves as a critical wake-up call for every organization rushing to adopt AI. This incident provides a blueprint for a new class of attacks that target the very infrastructure powering the AI Agent Economy. To understand the risk, we must first look at the mechanics of this emerging threat.

At Bitsight, one of the responsibilities of the Vulnerability Research team is to develop fingerprinting methods to not only identify exposed services, but also vulnerabilities in those services. When it comes to detecting vulnerabilities, there are increased challenges depending on the complexity of both the vulnerability and the vulnerable service.

Many teams believe that cross-site scripting, or XSS, is a problem of the past. Modern frameworks promise built-in protections, and developers often assume the browser will handle the rest. The reasoning sounds logical: if React auto-encodes output, XSS can’t happen. However, XSS prevention doesn’t work on assumptions; it works on visibility. We’ve learned that XSS prevention is about maintaining continuous control over the browser environment where your application runs.

In October 2025, researchers uncovered a phishing operation that weaponizes the npm ecosystem, but this time not to infect developers at install time, but rather to host and deliver phishing scripts via the trusted unpkg.com CDN.
