LibreChat is a ChatGPT clone with additional features. Prior to v0.8.2-rc2, LibreChat's MCP stdio transport accepts arbitrary commands without validation, allowing any authenticated user to execute shell commands as root inside the container through a single API request. This vulnerability is fixed in v0.8.2-rc2.

LibreChat through 0.7.4-rc1 has incorrect access control for message updates.

LibreChat through 0.7.4-rc1 does not validate the normalized pathnames of images.

LibreChat is an enhanced ChatGPT clone that supports multiple AI providers. In versions up to and including 0.8.3, the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server integration resolves ${VAR} placeholders against the server's process.env during Zod schema validation of user-supplied MCP server URLs. Any authenticated user can create a malicious MCP server configuration with a URL pointing to an attacker-controlled domain containing environment variable references, causing the LibreChat server to connect to the attacker's server and transmit critical secrets such as CREDSKEY, CREDSIV, JWTSECRET, and MONGOURI in the request URL. This enables full compromise of the installation's cryptographic materials and database credentials without requiring administrative privileges. This is patched in version 0.8.4-rc1.

An improper access control vulnerability in danny-avila/librechat versions prior to 0.7.6 allows authenticated users to delete other users' prompts via the groupid parameter. This issue occurs because the endpoint does not verify whether the provided prompt ID belongs to the current user.

LibreChat is an enhanced ChatGPT clone that supports multiple AI providers. Prior to 0.8.5, LibreChat's MCP OAuth implementation does not validate that the resource parameter from OAuth Protected Resource metadata (RFC 9728) matches the configured MCP server URL, allowing a malicious MCP server to steal access tokens intended for a legitimate server. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.8.5.

An arbitrary file deletion vulnerability exists in danny-avila/librechat version v0.7.5-rc2, specifically within the /api/files endpoint. This vulnerability arises from improper input validation, allowing path traversal techniques to delete arbitrary files on the server. Attackers can exploit this to bypass security mechanisms and delete files outside the intended directory, including critical system files, user data, or application resources. This vulnerability impacts the integrity and availability of the system.

LibreChat is a ChatGPT clone with additional features. Version 0.8.1-rc2 is prone to a server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability due to missing restrictions of the Actions feature in the default configuration. LibreChat enables users to configure agents with predefined instructions and actions that can interact with remote services via OpenAPI specifications, supporting various HTTP methods, parameters, and authentication methods including custom headers. By default, there are no restrictions on accessible services, which means agents can also access internal components like the RAG API included in the default Docker Compose setup. This issue is fixed in version 0.8.1-rc2.

In LibreChat 0.8.1-rc2, a logged-in user obtains a JWT for both the LibreChat API and the RAG API.

A vulnerability in danny-avila/librechat version git 81f2936 allows for path traversal due to improper sanitization of file paths by the multer middleware. This can lead to arbitrary file write and potentially remote code execution. The issue is fixed in version 0.7.6.

In danny-avila/librechat version 0.7.9, there is an insecure API design issue in the 2-Factor Authentication (2FA) flow. The system allows users to disable 2FA without requiring a valid OTP or backup code, bypassing the intended verification process. This vulnerability occurs because the backend does not properly validate the OTP or backup code when the API endpoint '/api/auth/2fa/disable' is directly accessed. This flaw can be exploited by authenticated users to weaken the security of their own accounts, although it does not lead to full account compromise.

LibreChat is a ChatGPT clone with additional features. Prior to version 0.8.1-rc2, LibreChat is vulnerable to Server-side Request Forgery (SSRF), by passing specially crafted OpenAPI specs to its "Actions" feature and making the LLM use those actions. It could be used by an authenticated user with access to this feature to access URLs only accessible to the LibreChat server (such as cloud metadata services, through which impersonation of the server might be possible). This issue has been patched in version 0.8.1-rc2.

LibreChat is a ChatGPT clone with additional features. In versions 0.8.0 and below, when a user posts a question, the iconURL parameter of the POST request can be modified by an attacker. The malicious code is then stored in the chat which can then be shared to other users. When sharing chats with a potentially malicious “tracker”, resources loaded can lead to loss of privacy for users who view the chat link that is sent to them. This issue is fixed in version 0.8.1.

LibreChat is a ChatGPT clone with additional features. Prior to version 0.8.3, isPrivateIP() in packages/api/src/auth/domain.ts fails to detect IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses in their hex-normalized form, allowing any authenticated user to bypass SSRF protection and make the server issue HTTP requests to internal network resources — including cloud metadata services (e.g., AWS 169.254.169.254), loopback, and RFC1918 ranges. Version 0.8.3 fixes the issue.

LibreChat is an enhanced ChatGPT clone that supports multiple AI providers. Prior to 0.8.4-rc1, the GET /api/auth/2fa/enable endpoint can be called by an authenticated user (or attacker with a stolen session) even when 2FA is already fully enabled on the account. This endpoint overwrites the existing TOTP secret, generates new backup codes, and sets twoFactorEnabled to false — all without requiring any TOTP or backup code verification. An attacker with a valid session token can completely take over a victim's 2FA, locking the legitimate user out of their own two-factor authentication. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.8.4-rc1.

LibreChat version 0.8.1-rc2 uses the same JWT secret for the user session mechanism and RAG API which compromises the service-level authentication of the RAG API.

LibreChat is a ChatGPT clone with additional features. Versions 0.8.2-rc2 through 0.8.2 are vulnerable to a server-side request forgery (SSRF) attack when using agent actions or MCP. Although a previous SSRF vulnerability (https://github.com/danny-avila/LibreChat/security/advisories/GHSA-rgjq-4q58-m3q8) was reported and patched, the fix only introduced hostname validation. It does not verify whether DNS resolution results in a private IP address. As a result, an attacker can still bypass the protection and gain access to internal resources, such as an internal RAG API or cloud instance metadata endpoints. Version 0.8.3-rc1 contains a patch.

LibreChat is an enhanced ChatGPT clone that supports multiple AI providers. Prior to 0.8.4-rc1, LibreChat allows users to configure custom OpenAI-compatible API endpoints by setting a baseURL. This URL is used to construct HTTP requests without any SSRF validation — no private IP check, no scheme restriction, no DNS pinning. An authenticated user can set baseURL to internal network addresses. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.8.4-rc1.

An improper access control vulnerability (IDOR) exists in the delete attachments functionality of danny-avila/librechat version v0.7.5-rc2. The endpoint does not verify whether the provided attachment ID belongs to the current user, allowing any authenticated user to delete attachments of other users.

LibreChat is a ChatGPT clone with additional features. From 0.8.2 to 0.8.2-rc3, The MCP (Model Context Protocol) OAuth callback endpoint accepts the redirect from the identity provider and stores OAuth tokens for the user who initiated the flow, without verifying that the browser hitting the redirect URL is logged in or that the logged-in user matches the initiator. An attacker can send the authorization URL to a victim; when the victim completes the flow, the victim’s OAuth tokens are stored on the attacker’s LibreChat account, enabling account takeover of the victim’s MCP-linked services (e.g. Atlassian, Outlook). This vulnerability is fixed in 0.8.3-rc1.

An unhandled exception in danny-avila/librechat version 3c94ff2 can lead to a server crash. The issue occurs when the fs module throws an exception while handling file uploads. An unauthenticated user can trigger this exception by sending a specially crafted request, causing the server to crash. The vulnerability is fixed in version 0.7.6.

A vulnerability in danny-avila/librechat version git a1647d7 allows an unauthenticated attacker to cause a denial of service by sending a crafted payload to the server. The middleware checkBan is not surrounded by a try-catch block, and an unhandled exception will cause the server to crash. This issue is fixed in version 0.7.6.

In danny-avila/librechat version git 0c2a583, there is an improper input validation vulnerability. The application uses multer middleware for handling multipart file uploads. When using in-memory storage (the default setting for multer), there is no limit on the upload file size. This can lead to a server crash due to out-of-memory errors when handling large files. An attacker without any privileges can exploit this vulnerability to cause a complete denial of service. The issue is fixed in version 0.7.6.

LibreChat is a ChatGPT clone with additional features. In versions 0.0.6 through 0.7.7-rc1, an exposed testing endpoint allows reading arbitrary chats directly from the Meilisearch engine. The endpoint /api/search/test allows for direct access to stored chats in the Meilisearch engine without proper access control. This results in the ability to read chats from arbitrary users. This issue is fixed in version 0.7.7.

A mass assignment vulnerability exists in danny-avila/librechat, affecting all versions. This vulnerability allows attackers to manipulate sensitive fields by automatically binding user-provided data to internal object properties or database fields without proper filtering. As a result, any extra fields in the request body are included in agentData and passed to the database layer, allowing overwriting of any field in the schema, such as author, accesslevel, isCollaborative, and projectIds. Additionally, the Object.Prototype can be polluted due to the use of Object.assign with spread operators.

LibreChat version 0.7.9 is vulnerable to a Denial of Service (DoS) attack due to unbounded parameter values in the /api/memories endpoint. The key and value parameters accept arbitrarily large inputs without proper validation, leading to a null pointer error in the Rust-based backend when excessively large values are submitted. This results in the inability to create new memories, impacting the stability of the service.

LibreChat RAG API, version 0.7.0, contains a log-injection vulnerability that allows attackers to forge log entries.

LibreChat is a ChatGPT clone with additional features. Version 0.8.1-rc2 does not enforce proper access control for file uploads to an agents file context and file search. An authenticated attacker with access to the agent ID can change the behavior of arbitrary agents by uploading new files to the file context or file search, even if they have no permissions for this agent. This issue is fixed in version 0.8.2-rc2.

LibreChat is an enhanced ChatGPT clone that supports multiple AI providers. In versions up to and including 0.7.6, an Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) vulnerability exists in the API keys management endpoint (PUT /api/keys). Due to the use of the JavaScript object spread operator after setting the authenticated user's ID, any authenticated user can inject a userId parameter in the request body to overwrite any other user's API keys (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure). This allows an attacker to replace a victim's API key configuration, potentially routing the victim's conversations through attacker-controlled keys or denying service by providing invalid keys. This is patched in version 0.8.3-rc1.

LibreChat is an enhanced ChatGPT clone that supports multiple AI providers. Prior to 0.8.4-rc1, the POST /api/auth/2fa/backup/regenerate endpoint regenerates all 2FA backup codes without requiring any TOTP token or existing backup code verification. An attacker with a stolen session token can silently replace a victim's backup codes and use them to bypass 2FA login or disable 2FA entirely. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.8.4-rc1.
