What is vulnerability scanning?

Blacklock scans your web application or infrastructure, triggering multiple security tools against the target. Known vulnerabilities are evaluated and reported. The scans can be run on a continuous, repetitive basis to identify new vulnerabilities, meet compliance obligations, or act as a proactive cyber defence measure.

Is web application vulnerability scanning the same as penetration testing? What’s not covered?

No, vulnerability scanning is not the same as penetration testing. Identified vulnerabilities are not verified by a human in a vulnerability scan, although you can request on-demand manual validation through the platform.

Do I get access to the full platform on a vulnerability scanning plan?

Yes, you get access to all integrations, can add unlimited users, and access scan history and historical reports. This is ideal for meeting compliance requirements and demonstrating continuous security monitoring.

Can I get started with just vulnerability scanning and purchase penetration testing later?

Yes, you can start with vulnerability scanning, identify issues, and later engage a penetration tester for manual validation as needed.

How does the pricing work?

Pricing is based on the number of web applications, live IP addresses, and code repositories you want to scan. You can start with a 14-day free trial or request a custom quote.

How often should vulnerability scans be performed?

Vulnerability scans should typically be performed monthly. For dynamic environments with frequent deployments, continuous scanning integrated with CI/CD pipelines is recommended.

What is the use of DAST security scanning?

DAST (Dynamic Application Security Testing) simulates real-world attacks on web applications to identify vulnerabilities such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting, and insecure configurations.

What vulnerabilities are identified in DAST?

DAST identifies vulnerabilities such as injection flaws, broken authentication, sensitive data exposure, and security misconfigurations by simulating real-world attack scenarios.

MCP Penetration Testing

overview

A New Approach to MCP Security Assurance

Model Context Protocol introduces a powerful way for AIapplications and agents to connect with tools, data and business systems. Italso introduces new security risks if trust boundaries, permissions and toolexecution are not properly controlled.

Blacklock assesses MCP implementations from an attacker’sperspective to identify weaknesses such as token mismanagement, secretexposure, tool poisoning, command injection, privilege escalation, insufficient authentication, shadow MCP servers, context injection and over-sharing.

Our methodology is aligned with OWASP MCP Top 10, OWASPLLM Top 10, OWASPAI Testing Guide, MITRE ATLAS and NIST AI RMF.Testing combines MCP-specific attack simulation with API, application andinfrastructure security testing.

Our methodology

Our Approach to Comprehensive Assessment

he scanning process we perform systematically

Scoping & Target Specification

We work with you to define the internal network scope,testing locations, VLANs, subnets, server zones, domain environment, testingwindows and business-critical systems.

No user or domain credentials are required unless agreedduring scoping. Testing can be performed from an internal LAN segment, acontrolled test host or an agreed access method. The objective is to understandwhat an unauthenticated internal user or attacker with network access coulddiscover, exploit and escalate.

MCP System Profiling & Reconnaissance

Blacklock maps the LLM application architecture, model provider, prompt structure, input and output channels, API routes, data flows, user roles, document ingestion points, memory components and retrieval logic.

‍
We review prompt leakage exposure, verbose errors, sensitive output risks, weak tenant isolation, unsafe plugin design and public information that may assist an attacker.

Book a Demo

Manual MCP Penetration Testing

Blacklock performs automated checks across MCP inputs,tool parameters, schemas, API routes and agent workflows.

Testing may include tool schema fuzzing, parametertampering, injection checks, authentication and authorisation review, secretexposure checks, rate limit testing, context leakage testing and unsafe toolinvocation attempts.

Book a Demo

Manual MCP Penetration Testing

Blacklock consultants manually test MCP implementationsfor exploitable weaknesses. Testing includes tool poisoning, command injection,SSRF via URL-accepting tools, scope creep, unauthorised tool invocation,excessive agency, context injection, token misuse and privilege escalation.

Where MCP is used by AI agents, we also test whethermalicious prompts, documents or tool outputs can manipulate the agent intoinvoking sensitive tools or bypassing human approval steps.

about us

Why Us for MCP Penetration Testing?

MCP-Specific Security Coverage

Blacklock tests risks unique to MCP environments,including tool poisoning, token exposure, context over-sharing, commandexecution, shadow MCP servers and privilege escalation through scope creep.

Agentic Workflow Expertise

MCP is often used inside agentic AI systems. Blacklocktests how tools, agents, prompts and workflows interact under adversarialconditions.

Standards-Aligned Methodology

Our approach is aligned with OWASP MCP Top 10, OWASPLLM Top 10, OWASPAI Testing Guide, MITRE ATLAS and NIST AI RMF.

Our Team

Blacklock’s penetration testers combine AI security,API testing, application security and infrastructure expertise to assess MCPenvironments safely and effectively.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is MCP Penetration Testing?

MCP Penetration Testing is a security assessment ofModel Context Protocol servers, tools and integrations. It checks whetherattackers can abuse tools, steal tokens, manipulate context or triggerunauthorised actions.

What MCP risks does Blacklock test?

Blacklock tests token mismanagement, secret exposure,tool poisoning, command injection, privilege escalation, weak authentication,lack of audit logging, shadow MCP servers and context over-sharing.

Why is MCP security important?

MCP connects AI applications to tools, data andbusiness systems. Weak permissions or unsafe tool design can allow an attackerto manipulate an AI system into accessing data or performing actions beyond theintended scope.

Does MCP testing include prompt injection?

Yes. Blacklock tests whether malicious prompts,documents or tool outputs can influence MCP tool calls, bypass controls orcause unintended actions.

What access is required?

Access may include MCP server details, test users, toolschemas, API documentation, authentication flows, approved tokens, architecturediagrams and access to a controlled test environment.

Can Blacklock test internal MCP servers?

Yes. Blacklock can assess internal MCP servers whereaccess is provided through an agreed and controlled testing method.

Is this different from LLM Penetration Testing?

Yes. LLM testing focuses on model-integratedapplication behaviour. MCP testing focuses on the protocol layer, tools,permissions, tokens, context sharing and agent-to-tool interactions.

How long does MCP Penetration Testing take?

The duration depends on the number of MCP servers,tools, workflows, permissions and integrations in scope. A typical assessmenttakes several days to two weeks.
