docs: clarify AVE-2026-00073 scope (MCP server URL, agent_card_url) - #142
Merged
Conversation
…and agent_card_url No score change, no new record. While verifying a candidate from predictor2718's PR #123 (a committed cleartext http:// endpoint for an MCP server URL or agent_card_url), it turned out AVE-2026-00073 already covers this: its detection_methodology and remediation already say to reject cleartext http:// destinations regardless of whether the host is otherwise legitimate. The only gap was textual -- payload_surface and behavioral_fingerprint named a model/provider base URL and telemetry endpoint explicitly but left MCP server URLs and agent_card_url under an implicit "equivalent traffic-destination value" catch-all. Naming them explicitly so a future reader doesn't have to re-derive that they're in scope.
