AI Server Attack

A security report has tightened the nerves within the AI development community. On April 15, the cybersecurity company OX Security released a report revealing a design flaw in Anthropic's MCP (Model Context Protocol), which could lead to remote code execution and affect more than. OX Security researchers Moshe Siman Tov Bustan, Mustafa Naamnih, Nir Zadok and Roni Bar scanned the ecosystem and found 7,000 servers on public IPs with STDIO transport active — and estimate 200,000 total vulnerable instances extrapolated from that ratio. They confirmed arbitrary command execution. The OX Security Research team has uncovered a critical, systemic vulnerability at the core of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) — the industry standard for AI agent communication created and maintained by Anthropic. "This flaw enables Arbitrary Command Execution. TL;DR – MCP servers – the integration layer connecting AI assistants to external tools and data – are a significant and underexplored attack surface. Our research demonstrates that both locally hosted and third-party MCP servers can be exploited to execute arbitrary code, exfiltrate sensitive data. [PDF]

Fiber optic cable splices should be no less than 200 meters

Recommendation ITU-T L. 12 specifies splices of single-mode and multimode optical fibres. It describes suitable procedures for splicing that should be carefully followed in order to obtain reliable splices between single optical fibres or ribbons. Typical applications of these methods include aerial, buried, and underground splices.
