CVE-2026-48529 Details
Description
GitHub MCP Server is GitHub's official MCP Server. From 0.22.0 until 1.1.2, when running in HTTP mode with --lockdown-mode enabled, the RepoAccessCache is implemented as a process-global singleton initialized with the first authenticated user's GraphQL client. All subsequent requests from different users share this singleton and their lockdown-related GraphQL queries are executed using the first user's credentials. The singleton is never updated to reflect later users' tokens. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.1.2.
A vulnerability exists in GitHub MCP Server versions 0.22.0 prior to 1.1.2, when operating in HTTP mode with lockdown mode enabled. The issue arises because the RepoAccessCache is managed as a process-global singleton, initialized with the first authenticated user's GraphQL client. This means that all subsequent requests from different users utilize the first user's credentials for lockdown-related GraphQL queries, as the singleton is not updated to reflect the tokens of later users. Consequently, this can lead to incorrect repository access evaluations and content sanitization decisions, particularly in multi-user scenarios.
Users can upgrade to GitHub MCP Server version 1.1.2 or later, where this vulnerability has been fixed.
