AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Network-reachable and low-complexity, but adding an MCP server config is a management action requiring authenticated access, so PR:L rather than PR:N; impact is full host RCE (C/I/A:H).

LiteLLM 1.18.10 contains a remote code execution vulnerability in its MCP server creation functionality. The application allows users to add MCP servers via a JSON configuration specifying arbitrary command and args values. LiteLLM executes these values on the host without validation, enabling attackers to run arbitrary operating system commands. Successful exploitation may result in remote code execution with the privileges of the LiteLLM process.
AnalysisAI
Command injection in LiteLLM 1.18.10 lets attackers who can configure MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers supply arbitrary command and args values in the server-creation JSON, which LiteLLM passes to the host OS without validation, yielding remote code execution as the LiteLLM process. The flaw is part of the broader MCP-stdio supply-chain advisory disclosed by ox.security across the AI ecosystem and is documented in LiteLLM's own April 2026 advisory. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the ability to create or modify an MCP server entry in LiteLLM using the JSON configuration that specifies `command` and `args` for a stdio-transport MCP server - that management/configuration capability is the exact prerequisite. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The signals conflict and must be weighed carefully. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker who reaches LiteLLM's MCP server-creation function - for example a lower-privileged tenant or an attacker who obtained proxy management access - submits a JSON MCP server definition whose `command` is a shell/interpreter and whose `args` carry a payload (e.g. a reverse shell or credential-dump command). … |
| Remediation | No vendor-released fixed version is identified in the provided data, so upgrade to the latest LiteLLM release after confirming the fix in the vendor advisory (https://docs.litellm.ai/blog/mcp-stdio-command-injection-april-2026) and the GitHub repository, and do not run 1.18.10 in exposed environments. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, inventory all LiteLLM 1.18.10 deployments with MCP server integration enabled, disable MCP functionality if not operationally required, and audit who has administrative access to MCP configurations. …
