BerriAI LiteLLM Improper Authentication Vulnerability. Actively exploited: CISA added this vulnerability to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 02/09/2026. Patch affected systems as an emergency.
| Package | Affected versions | Patched versions |
|---|---|---|
| litellm | < 1.84.0 | 1.84.0 |
| litellm | < 1.84.0 | 1.84.0 |
LiteLLM's MCP Streamable HTTP endpoint could allow an unauthenticated attacker to establish an authenticated MCP session using an arbitrary Bearer token.
The MCP auth handler supported OAuth2 passthrough for upstream MCP servers, but the fallback path could replace failed LiteLLM key validation with an empty UserAPIKeyAuth() object. This allowed requests with a fabricated Authorization header to reach MCP tooling without a valid LiteLLM key.
An attacker could use this to list and call configured MCP tools and access connected services exposed through MCP.
The issue is fixed in 1.84.0.
We recommend upgrading to 1.84.0 or later.
If upgrading is not immediately possible, disable MCP routes or block access to /mcp/ and related MCP endpoints at your reverse proxy or API gateway.
