Security scan finds PraisonAI vulnerable among top MCP servers

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A security scan of the top 500 MCP servers revealed that while most are secure, one server, PraisonAI, has a significant number of outstanding vulnerabilities. The scan, which analyzed servers from the official MCP Registry based on download counts, found 112 unique advisories across all servers, affecting only six. Of these, PraisonAI remains the only server with current vulnerabilities, including an authentication bypass and an unauthenticated jobs API issue. Five other servers had past advisories that have since been fixed by their maintainers. AI

    What I found scanning the top 500 MCP servers for security

    <p>Every MCP server you add to Claude, Cursor or your own agent is code that runs on your machine. Usually that's <code>npx something</code> or <code>uvx something</code>, and it runs with your environment variables and API keys sitting right there. I wanted to know how worried I…
