CVE-2026-108716
mcp-remote 0.8.0 through 0.14.3 Cleartext Credential Transmission via --device-code OAuth Grant
Description
mcp-remote 0.8.0 through 0.14.3 contains a cleartext transmission vulnerability in authorizeWithDeviceCode that sends client secrets and receives tokens without enforcing HTTPS endpoints. When discovered device authorization and token endpoints are non-loopback http URLs, on-path network attackers can capture the client secret plus issued access and refresh tokens.
