VulnerabilityCVE-2026-14541cvecve-2026-14541cwe-287
Published: 07/31/2026 (07/31/2026, 01:48:39 UTC)
Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: Google
Product: mcp-toolbox

Description

An authentication bypass and audience confusion vulnerability exists in the Google OAuth provider component of Google mcp-toolbox version 1.4.0. When a Google authService is initialized with mcpEnabled: true but lacks an explicitly defined audience or clientId, the ValidateMCPAuth pipeline for opaque tokens skips audience validation entirely. As a result, the toolbox will accept any valid Google OAuth access token—even those minted for unrelated ecosystem applications—granting unauthorized clients access to protected tools and data backends.
