Sensitive Data Exposure Vulnerability in LibreChat by Danny Avila
CVE-2026-44653
What is CVE-2026-44653?
LibreChat, a ChatGPT clone that integrates various AI providers, is susceptible to a vulnerability that allows users with view-only access to an MCP server to access its decrypted admin-managed secrets. Specifically, versions up to and including 0.8.3 expose critical information via the GET API calls for server configurations. Attackers can retrieve sensitive data, such as 'apiKey.key' and 'oauth.client_secret', enabling the potential for credential exfiltration from a shared server setup. To mitigate this risk, updated practices should include not returning plaintext secrets to unauthorized users, masking sensitive information in API responses, and utilizing secure server-side storage for credentials, returning only placeholders when necessary. Version 0.8.4 has been patched to address these security concerns.
Affected Version(s)
LibreChat < 0.8.4
