I get the impression that somehow an attacker is able to inject this prompt (maybe in front of the actual coder’s prompt) in such a way to produce actual production code. I’m waiting to hear how this can happen - cross site attacks on the developer’s browser?
"Documentation, tickets, MCP server" in pictures...
With internal documentation and tickets I think you would have bigger issues... And external documentation. Well maybe there should be tooling to check that. Not expert on MCP. But vetting goes there too.
