  @Paytm Data leak risks worth considering if not considered and addressed already. Maybe good for the @Paytm team to share how these are addressed. This is again in our long term interest as a nation. Quoted directly from Claude response (disclaimer- Not my personal views, please validate) 1. Prompt injection via tool outputs. Transaction descriptions, customer names, order notes — any field an end-customer can populate — becomes untrusted text once it flows through the MCP tool result into Claude's context. A malicious "customer" could put an injection payload in a payment note field, hoping it gets executed when a merchant later asks Claude to "summarize today's transactions." 2. Over-broad OAuth scopes. If the merchant's connected token grants read access to all transactions rather than scoped by team/role, any employee with Claude access effectively gets visibility into full settlement and customer data, bypassing whatever RBAC existed on the Paytm dashboard. 3. Context leakage across conversations/sessions. If the same Claude account is used for other tasks, payment data pulled into context in one thread could plausibly resurface via memory/summarization features if not carefully scoped — worth checking how PPSL scopes token lifetime and whether Claude retains tool outputs beyond the session. 4. Third-party model exposure. Payment data (PII: names, phone numbers, partial card/bank details, amounts) now transits through Anthropic's infrastructure as tool-call payloads, even if not used for training. That's a new data-residency and compliance surface — relevant for RBI data localization rules and PCI-DSS scope creep. 5. Credential/session hijacking. MCP connector auth tokens, if long-lived, become a single high-value target — compromise of the Claude account (weak password, no 2FA, shared device) could give an attacker read access to a merchant's entire payment history. 6. No mention of masking. The post doesn't say whether sensitive fields (card BINs, UPI VPAs, customer PII) are redacted/tokenized before reaching the LLM context — a real gap for a blog post about a payments integration. 🙏
