Why Your AI Agent Will Get Pwned: Security Nightmares in the MCP, Headless Browser, and Agent-Driven Development Boom

Originally published on tamiz.pro.

The race to ship AI agents is accelerating past every security review gate. We've seen it happen with RAG pipelines leaking credentials, chatbot frontends exfiltrating prompts, and now the newest wave — agents armed with Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, persistent headless browsers, and multi-step toolchains. The architecture itself is the vulnerability. This isn't about patching one exploit; it's about a fundamentally new class of attack surface that most engineering teams aren't auditing for.
