## What is CVE-2025-7106?

CVE-2025-7106 is a medium-severity missing authorization vulnerability in Librechat Librechat, published on 23 Sep 2025. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

danny-avila/librechat is affected by an authorization bypass vulnerability due to improper access control checks. The `checkAccess` function in `api/server/middleware/roles/access.js` uses `permissions.some()` to validate permissions, which incorrectly grants access if only one of multiple required permissions is present. This allows users with the 'USER' role to create agents despite having `CREATE: false` permission, as the check for `['USE', 'CREATE']` passes with just `USE: true`. This vulnerability affects other permission checks as well, such as `PROMPTS`. The issue is present in all versions prior to the fix.

Weakness: CWE-639 (Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key), CWE-284 (Improper Access Control)

Exploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2025-7106 exists.

Affected product: Librechat Librechat. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.

Task:
1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.
2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
