Oh, For Fucking Christ, Figma Again.

Right, listen up you lot. Figma, that design tool everyone and their grandmother uses? Yeah, they fucked up. Badly. Some researcher found a vulnerability in their MCP server – basically the thing that lets plugins talk to Figma’s backend. It’s not just *a* vulnerability, it’s a whole class of them. Specifically, it allows for “agentic AI” attacks.

What does that even MEAN? It means some clever bastard can write a plugin that basically takes over your Figma account and starts messing with everything. Designs, files, the lot. Think malicious automation on steroids. They could exfiltrate data, change designs to include backdoors, or just generally cause chaos because someone thought letting plugins have too much power was a good idea.

The worst part? It’s not even about *malicious* plugins necessarily. A compromised plugin – and let’s be real, supply chain security is a joke – could get exploited. Figma patched it (eventually), but the damage could already be done. They are saying they have no evidence of exploitation in the wild… sure Jan.

So yeah, update your Figma crap now. And maybe start questioning why you’re trusting a web app with all your sensitive design data in the first place. Honestly, it’s just… pathetic. I swear, if I had a nickel for every time a SaaS company screwed up basic security…

I once had to clean up a mess where some intern thought it was a brilliant idea to write a script that automatically deployed code changes directly to production. No testing, no rollback plan, just straight to live. It took me three days and an ungodly amount of caffeine to fix the fallout. This Figma thing? It’s basically that, but potentially affecting thousands of organizations at once. And people wonder why I’m so cynical.
