    @cr3ghost @ZephrFish The server count is less important than the trust boundary: Postgres MCP Pro CVE-2026-85620 remains unfixed (RangeFunction bypass), while AWS 85787 needs ≥1.1.7. Least-privilege DB role beats any MCP ‘read-only’ flag.

    Post summary

    The post highlights that Postgres MCP Pro’s CVE‑2026‑85620 remains unfixed, AWS’s CVE‑85787 requires patch ≥1.1.7, and recommends using a least‑privilege DB role over MCP read‑only flags to mitigate the risk.
