Threats affecting pkg:pypi/chainlit

Chainlit 2.12.0 contains a server-side request forgery vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to bypass path-scoped MCP allowed_urls entries because validate_mcp_url does not reject the semicolon character. Attackers can submit MCP URLs with '..;' segments to the /mcp endpoint, causing requests to paths outside the operator's grant on origins that strip semicolon path parameters.

Chainlit before 2.10.1 contains a session hijacking vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to restore and inherit authenticated user sessions by presenting a valid sessionId during WebSocket session restoration without ownership verification. Attackers can exploit the restore_existing_session path to assume a victim's permissions and roles, enabling unauthorized invocation of tools and access to data restricted to the authenticated victim.

Chainlit versions prior to 2.9.4 contain a server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in the /project/element update flow when configured with the SQLAlchemy data layer backend. An authenticated client can provide a user-controlled url value in an Element, which is fetched by the SQLAlchemy element creation logic using an outbound HTTP GET request. This allows an attacker to make arbitrary HTTP requests from the Chainlit server to internal network services or cloud metadata endpoints and store the retrieved responses via the configured storage provider.
