16-4-2025 – Significant security flaws have been unearthed within the majority of Crypto-MCPs, as disclosed by Chromia’s senior executive for Data and AI operations.
The vulnerabilities, brought to light by superoo7, expose users to potential exploitation through the Cursor platform and Anthropic’s Claude system, where malicious actors could surreptitiously divert transactions to unauthorised wallets.
At the heart of this security concern lies the presence of compromised MCPs, which pose a particular threat as they often operate beneath the radar of standard user vigilance. These ‘poisoned’ protocols could potentially compromise the integrity of cryptocurrency transactions without raising immediate red flags.
To safeguard against these risks, superoo7 has put forth a comprehensive defensive strategy. Chief among the recommendations is the exclusive use of verified MCP servers, coupled with the implementation of the specialised MCP-Scan security tool. Additionally, users are strongly advised to maintain minimal wallet balances as a precautionary measure.
