Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as problematic has been found in awesome-llm-apps 2026-01-19. Affected is an unknown functionality of the component GitHub Personal Access Token Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a information disclosure vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-200. The product exposes sensitive information to an actor that is not explicitly authorized to have access to that information. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality. CVE summarizes:

A cross-session information disclosure vulnerability exists in the awesome-llm-apps project in commit e46690f99c3f08be80a9877fab52acacf7ab8251 (2026-01-19). The affected Streamlit-based GitHub MCP Agent stores user-supplied API tokens in process-wide environment variables using os.environ without proper session isolation. Because Streamlit serves multiple concurrent users from a single Python process, credentials provided by one user remain accessible to subsequent unauthenticated users. An attacker can exploit this issue to retrieve sensitive information such as GitHub Personal Access Tokens or LLM API keys, potentially leading to unauthorized access to private resources and financial abuse.

The advisory is available at github.com. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2026-29872 since 03/04/2026. The exploitability is told to be easy. Local access is required to approach this attack. The technical details are unknown and an exploit is not available. This vulnerability is assigned to T1592 by the MITRE ATT&CK project.
