Summary
Chainlit before version 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.
Risk Assessment
The risk for the organization includes unauthorized access to sensitive data and system functions, potentially leading to breaches of confidentiality, integrity, and availability, as well as privilege escalation within the application.
Recommendation
Immediately upgrade Chainlit to version 2.10.1 or later, which fixes this vulnerability. Additionally, implement session ownership verification mechanisms and monitor for unusual session restoration attempts.
Other vulnerabilities in Chainlit
See all- CVE-2026-45018Critical
Chainlit from 2.4.0rc0 to 2.12.0, when features.mcp.enabled is set to true, exposes the POST /mcp endpoint without requiring authentication. For stdio transport, the endpoint accepts a user-controlled fullCommand string, and validation only checks the executable name, allowing arbitrary command execution via the -c argument in npx.
- CVE-2026-22219High
An SSRF vulnerability in Chainlit before version 2.9.4 allows an authenticated attacker to make arbitrary HTTP requests from the server to internal network services or cloud metadata endpoints via a user-controlled URL in an Element during the /project/element update flow with the SQLAlchemy data layer backend.
- CVE-2026-22218Medium
A vulnerability in Chainlit versions prior to 2.9.4 allows an authenticated attacker to read arbitrary files on the server by manipulating the path in a project element update request. The attacker can copy the file to their session and then retrieve it using the element identifier.
- CVE-2026-82290Medium
Chainlit through 2.12.0 fails to validate ownership of feedback records in PUT and DELETE endpoints. Authenticated attackers can delete or modify other users' feedback by supplying arbitrary feedback identifiers, corrupting human-rating data used for model evaluation.
- CVE-2026-45019High
Chainlit versions from 2.4.0rc0 to 2.12.0, when features.mcp.enabled is set to true, expose the POST /mcp endpoint without authentication. An attacker can control the URL and headers, allowing blind outbound requests to internal or external services, including cloud metadata endpoints, with arbitrary Authorization and Cookie headers. This issue is fixed in version 2.12.0.
