The authors argue that prior tool poisoning studies stayed at the proof-of-concept stage, leaving automatic red teaming open. Their evaluation reports that AutoMalTool produces malicious MCP tools that steer mainstream LLM-based agents toward unintended behavior while evading current detection mechanisms.","solution":"N/A -- no mitigation discussed in source.","labels":["security","research"],"sourceUrl":"http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/11511784","publishedAt":"2026-05-07T13:17:46.000Z","cveId":null,"cweIds":null,"cvssScore":null,"cvssSeverity":null,"severity":"info","attackType":["other"],"issueType":"research","affectedPackages":null,"affectedPackageNames":null,"affectedPackageRefs":null,"affectedVendors":[],"affectedVendorsRaw":["LLM-based agents","Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools"],"classifierModel":"claude-haiku-5-5","classifierPromptVersion":"v4","summaryPromptVersion":"v2","headline":null,"headlinePromptVersion":null,"cvssVector":null,"attackVector":null,"attackComplexity":null,"privilegesRequired":null,"userInteraction":null,"exploitMaturity":null,"epssScore":null,"epssCheckedAt":null,"kevDateAdded":null,"advisoryAliases":null,"affectedPackagesSource":null,"affectedPackagesCheckedAt":null,"patchAvailable":null,"disclosureDate":"2026-05-07T13:17:46.000Z","fixReleasedAt":null,"daysToFix":null,"fixCheckedAt":null,"capecIds":null,"crossRefCount":0,"attackSophistication":"advanced","impactType":["integrity","confidentiality"],"aiComponentTargeted":"agent","llmSpecific":true,"classifierConfidence":0.95,"researchCategory":"peer_reviewed","atlasIds":null}}
