Camp 3: I/O Security¶
Navigating the Treacherous I/O Pass
Camp Details
Duration: 90 minutes
Azure Services: Content Safety, AI Services
Primary Risks: MCP06 (Prompt Injection), MCP05 (Command Injection), MCP03 (Tool Poisoning)
What You'll Learn¶
The most dangerous attacks against MCP servers come through their inputs and outputs. At Camp 3, you'll learn to validate, sanitize, and protect every byte of data flowing through your servers.
Learning Objectives
- Integrate Azure Content Safety for harmful content detection
- Implement robust input validation and sanitization
- Detect and redact PII in real-time
- Prevent prompt injection attacks
- Mitigate command injection vulnerabilities
The Challenge¶
MCP servers act as bridges between AI and your systems. Without proper I/O security, attackers can inject malicious prompts, execute arbitrary commands, or exfiltrate sensitive data. You'll experience these attacks firsthand, then build comprehensive defenses.
What You'll Build¶
-
Content Safety
Block harmful, toxic, or malicious content using Azure AI
-
Input Validation
Sanitize and validate all inputs before processing
-
PII Detection
Automatically detect and redact sensitive personal information
-
Injection Prevention
Stop prompt and command injection attacks in their tracks
Coming Soon¶
Under Development
This critical camp is in active development! Soon you'll master:
- Exploiting prompt injection and command execution flaws
- Azure Content Safety API integration and configuration
- Building robust validation frameworks
- PII detection patterns and redaction strategies
- Defense-in-depth for MCP I/O operations
