NSFOCUS has identified emerging threats targeting AI Agents and Large Language Models (LLMs), specifically through sophisticated attacks leveraging Multi-Agent Communication Protocols (MCPs) to achieve unauthorized access, privilege escalation, and intent manipulation. These new vulnerabilities include "MCP Tool Poisoning Attacks" and "Intent Disruption & Goal Manipulation," which could lead to system intrusion, data tampering, and the spread of erroneous information across multi-agent systems.
