摘要 The Model Context Protocol (MCP) enables LLM agents to interact with external tools through metadata exchange, tool invocation, and response consumption. Existing MCP security scanners primarily reason about suspicious semantic signals rather than real execution behaviors, which can lead to unreliable risk assessment. For example, credential-like strings may simply be placeholders rather than actual leakage. This gap requires runtime evidence for execution-related risks and careful semantic analysis for risks carried in metadata or returned content. We present FlowGuard, an evidence-grounded MCP security detection system. FlowGuard combines semantic risk triage, recon-guided payload narrowing, schema-valid probe generation, evidence adjudication, and history-guided refinement. It verifies execution-related risks through runtime evidence and detects semantic risks in tool metadata and returned content. We evaluate FlowGuard on an executable benchmark containing 1,880 MCP cases across five vulnerability categories. FlowGuard achieves F1 scores of 0.879 and 0.942 on the execution-related Command Injection and File System Access categories, respectively. Compared with existing dynamic scanners, FlowGuard reduces end-to-end latency by up to 2.23x. In the real-world evaluation, FlowGuard reports 523 findings across 326 servers. These results show that evidence-grounded detection can assess both execution-related and semantic risks in MCP interactions.

摘要 Persistent external memory enhances agent continuity but introduces persistent security vulnerabilities: adversarial content can be injected via standard interaction channels, retained across turns, and later distort downstream behavior. To address this challenge, we propose MemPoison, a comprehensive benchmark and analysis framework featuring 1227 hand-validated cases across four attack types, three injection channels, and three representative memory substrates, evaluated on seven open-weight and three closed-weight model families. We introduce a three-tier taxonomy: (L1) direct single-record corruption, (L2) compositional multi-record corruption and (L3) context-triggered dormant corruption. Our evaluations reveal a distinct defense frontier: while baseline write-time defenses, such as consistency checks, substantially suppress direct L1 attacks, they fail to reliably suppress L2 and L3 attacks. Through mechanistic influence decomposition (MID), we demonstrate structural blind spots in write-time defenses, which admit seemingly benign records that later become harmful through joint retrieval composition or trigger-conditioned activation. Our findings advocate for shifting from static filtering to adaptive, context-sensitive memory defense strategies.
