AC:H because exploitation depends on the app minting tokens for 2+ audiences in one process and the attacker being positioned at Service B; C:H/I:H reflect token capture enabling full impersonation, no availability impact.

CRITICAL 9.1

DescriptionCVE.org

A caching flaw in the toolbox-core package of the mcp-toolbox-sdk-python SDK causes the same Google ID token to be cached and reused across different audiences. If an application uses the SDK to authenticate to two or more different audiences within the same process, the module-level token cache fails to key its cached tokens by the requested audience. Consequently, a valid, unexpired token minted for a sensitive service (Service A) can be retrieved from the cache and sent to a secondary service (Service B). An attacker who operates, compromises, or monitors traffic to Service B can capture this token and replay it to impersonate the victim application against Service A.

AnalysisAI

Cross-audience Google ID token reuse in the toolbox-core module of mcp-toolbox-sdk-python causes a credential intended for one service to be silently handed to a different service within the same process. Because the module-level token cache is not keyed by audience, an application that fetches ID tokens for two or more audiences in one process can send a Service A token to Service B; an attacker who operates, compromises, or passively monitors Service B can capture that token and replay it against Service A to impersonate the victim application. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the victim application to use the toolbox-core module of mcp-toolbox-sdk-python to fetch Google ID tokens (via get_google_id_token / get_google_token_from_aud) for two or more different audiences within the SAME process, so that the shared module-level _token_cache serves a Service-A token for a Service-B request. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment This is a genuine credential-leak flaw whose real-world priority is moderate and highly conditional despite the headline CVSS 4.0 base score of 9.1. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Apply the vendor fix: upgrade toolbox-core to the mcp-toolbox-sdk-python release that includes the audience-keyed cache change from PR #675 (https://github.com/googleapis/mcp-toolbox-sdk-python/pull/675). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, inventory all deployments of mcp-toolbox-sdk-python/toolbox-core that obtain Google ID tokens for more than one audience in a single process, isolate or temporarily disable multi-audience token reuse paths, rotate any Google ID tokens or service-account credentials that could have crossed audience boundaries, and review identity/API logs for unexpected token use against Service A; within 7 days, apply the patch available per vendor advisory for mcp-toolbox-sdk-python/toolbox-core, verify the exact fixed release in the advisory, deploy to staging before production, and confirm the token cache is keyed by audience with regression tests for cross-audience separation; within 30 days, complete production remediation of all affected services, validate no remaining multi-audience cache paths, add dependency scanning and CI checks for this SDK, restrict network/identity visibility so Service B traffic cannot be passively monitored by untrusted parties, and update secure design standards for audience-scoped credential caching.
