CVE-2026-71424 — Onyx: Cross-user OAuth-token leak via /api/mcp/servers* for per-user MCP servers
Onyx is an open-source AI platform. Prior to 3.1.10, 3.2.14, and 4.0.0, Onyx's GET /api/mcp/servers and GET /api/mcp/servers/persona/{persona_id} endpoints expose another user's OAuth Authorization header because OnyxTokenStorage.set_tokens and OnyxTokenStorage.set_client_info in backend/onyx/server/features/mcp/api.py copy per-user tokens into a shared admin MCPConnectionConfig row and _db_mcp_server_to_api_mcp_server returns that row through auth_template.headers to any BASIC_ACCESS user. This issue is fixed in versions 3.1.10, 3.2.14, and 4.0.0.
Who exploits it and how urgent it is
A 0–100 score combining confirmed exploitation, ransomware and APT use, public exploits, EPSS and severity.
How the score was calculated
- Technical severity (critical)+10
The score orders the patch queue; it does not replace your asset context (internet exposure, criticality, compensating controls).
Triage
Is it exploited, how likely is exploitation, what does it touch, and how severe do the sources call it.
CISA SSVC assessment CISA
Three decision points CISA publishes for the CVEs it assesses (SSVC 2.0.3). A stakeholder decision, not a severity score.
Remediation
Fixes and mitigations documented by the sources — linked to the original advisory.
No fix documented by the sources we poll. That does not mean none exists: check the vendor advisory.
First 24 hours
Ordered from the record’s own fields — exposure first, because you cannot patch what you have not found. A rule-generated starting point.
- Identify exposed assets running the affected vendor/product/version combinations (Onyx-dot-app Onyx).
- No fix documented in the sources: reduce exposure and monitor the vendor advisory.
- Search available logs for exploit probes matching the vulnerability class (info disclosure), errors and authentication anomalies.

CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N (score shown at the top: security-advisories@github.com) Weakness MITRE
Weakness class according to MITRE’s CWE catalog.
Detection
Read off the CVSS vector and the weakness class. Starting points, not tested rules.
- Prioritize edge telemetry for the network-reachable component (proxy, WAF, IDS/IPS).
- Look for anomalous data read/export volumes and access to sensitive records.
