Integrity: Low
Availability: None

Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the impacted component.
Integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact on the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 2026-10-26.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

To mitigate CVE-2025-7106, organizations should immediately update to the fixed version of danny-avila/librechat once available, ensuring the access control logic correctly requires all specified permissions rather than any single permission. In the interim, a code review and patch can be applied to the `checkAccess` function to replace the use of `permissions.some()` with a method that verifies all required permissions are present, such as `permissions.every()`. Additionally, organizations should audit existing user roles and permissions to identify and restrict any users who may have been granted excessive privileges due to this flaw. Implementing additional monitoring and alerting on permission changes and agent creation activities can help detect exploitation attempts. Employing defense-in-depth strategies, such as network segmentation and limiting access to the librechat management interfaces, can reduce exposure. Finally, conducting security awareness training for administrators and users about the risks of improper access control and the importance of role-based permissions can help prevent misuse.

Description

danny-avila/librechat is affected by an authorization bypass vulnerability due to improper access control checks. The `checkAccess` function in `api/server/middleware/roles/access.js` uses `permissions.some()` to validate permissions, which incorrectly grants access if only one of multiple required permissions is present. This allows users with the 'USER' role to create agents despite having `CREATE: false` permission, as the check for `['USE', 'CREATE']` passes with just `USE: true`. This vulnerability affects other permission checks as well, such as `PROMPTS`. The issue is present in all versions prior to the fix.

Impact

For European organizations using danny-avila/librechat, this vulnerability poses a risk of unauthorized privilege escalation within the application, potentially allowing users with limited roles to perform administrative or creation actions they are not authorized to execute. This can lead to unauthorized data manipulation, creation of rogue agents, or misuse of application features that rely on strict permission enforcement. While the vulnerability does not directly impact confidentiality or availability, the integrity of data and operations within the affected system can be compromised. Organizations relying on librechat for sensitive communications or automated agent management could face operational disruptions or data integrity issues. Given the medium severity and the lack of required privileges or user interaction for exploitation, attackers or malicious insiders could exploit this vulnerability remotely with relative ease. This risk is heightened in environments where librechat is integrated into critical workflows or where user roles are broadly assigned without strict oversight. The absence of known exploits in the wild suggests limited current active threat, but the vulnerability should be addressed promptly to prevent potential abuse. Compliance with European data protection regulations (e.g., GDPR) may be impacted if unauthorized actions lead to data integrity issues or unauthorized processing of personal data.

The product does not restrict or incorrectly restricts access to a resource from an unauthorized actor.
MITRE discourages mapping vulnerabilities to this broad entry; the root cause is usually a more specific weakness.
Architecture and Design · Operation
Very carefully manage the setting, management, and handling of privileges. Explicitly manage trust zones in the software.
Architecture and Design · Separation of Privilege
Compartmentalize the system to have "safe" areas where trust boundaries can be unambiguously drawn. Do not allow sensitive data to go outside of the trust boundary and always be careful when interfacing with a compartment outside of the safe area.
