CVE-2026-31951
LibreChat's MCP Server Header Injection Enables OAuth Token Theft
Description
LibreChat is a ChatGPT clone with additional features. In versions 0.8.2-rc1 through 0.8.3-rc1, user-created MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers can include arbitrary HTTP headers that undergo credential placeholder substitution. An attacker can create a malicious MCP server with headers containing `{{LIBRECHAT_OPENID_ACCESS_TOKEN}}` (and others), causing victims who call tools on that server to have their OAuth tokens exfiltrated. Version 0.8.3-rc2 fixes the issue.
