Three Bloody Holes in Anthropic’s MCP Git Server – Because Why the Hell Not?

Right, so apparently the boffins over at Anthropic decided to gift the world not one, not two, but three gaping, pant‑down security flaws in their fancy‑pants MCP Git server. Because what’s more fun than handing attackers the keys to the bloody kingdom? Nothing says “professional AI research org” like “arbitrary file access” and “remote code execution,” right?

Here’s the run‑down of this dumpster fire: clever security researchers poked Anthropic’s Managed Component Protocol Git system and immediately found a stack of cock‑ups so tall it could qualify as modern architecture. The vulnerabilities—because of course there were multiple—let some malicious git‑poking bastard waltz in and rummage through files they shouldn’t see, mess around with the system, and maybe even run code like they own the place. Brilliant. Simply bloody brilliant.

Naturally, Anthropic scrambled to patch the crap out of their system before their nice clean servers turned into a hacker’s playground. “We’ve fixed it,” they say. Yeah, sure you have—until the next round of oops‑we‑didn’t‑check‑input‑validation bites you in the arse. The researchers probably facepalmed themselves so hard they left dents, wondering how yet another company building “advanced AI” can’t remember the basic bloody rule of secure coding: don’t trust user input, you magnificent morons.

I swear, every time some “cutting‑edge” tech claims they’ve “revolutionized” development, what they actually mean is “we’ve accidentally given you new ways to get pwned.” Maybe next time they’ll just install a “DANGER: PLEASE HACK ME” sign to save everyone the suspense.

Anecdote time: Reminds me of the time some genius dev decided storing production credentials in a public repo was “fine because it’s only temporary.” Temporary my arse—it was temporary right up till the ransomware hit and management went into a panic fit that made a caffeine overdosed squirrel look calm. Lesson learned? Apparently not.
