Still looks like nonsense.
Why would you blame MCP for skipping good sense and allowing a stranger to run a remote shell in your machine? Because your description of an MCP that can run any process without any limits is for all purposes a remote shell.
No one is blaming ssh if you publish your server's login and password on social media.
I personally wouldn’t blame MCP, it’s just a protocol. My theory is the feature was vibe coded in the vulnerable tools and nobody thought about it much.
Yep, and the article was vibe slopped as well
