Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-16481 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: MCP Toolbox for Databases (googleapis/mcp-toolbox). No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. 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.\n2. 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.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16481/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16481/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-16481","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16481/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-16481","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-qr8r-mqp7-36xx"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"MCP Toolbox library","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can exploit SSRF in the FHIR fetch tool to exfiltrate OAuth tokens and access Protected Health Information via unvalidated URL parameters.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"ssrf"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Google","cpe":[{"product":"mcp_toolbox_for_databases","vendor":"google"}],"cvss":{"score":6,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:H/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:L/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-918","name":"Server-Side Request Forgery"}],"description":"A Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) and credential exfiltration vulnerability exists in the cloud-healthcare-fhir-fetch-page tool of googleapis/mcp-toolbox.\n\nThe tool takes an unvalidated pageURL parameter from the client and issues an HTTP GET request to it using an authenticated client. The underlying transport automatically attaches an Authorization: Bearer  header to every outbound request regardless of the destination host. An attacker can supply an arbitrary external URL to the pageURL parameter (either directly via the tool execution payload or implicitly via data-driven pagination tracking loops), leading Toolbox into sending its OAuth/service-account access token to an attacker-controlled listener. Depending on the configuration, this leaks either the end-user's token or the broader service-account access token (ADC), potentially exposing Protected Health Information (PHI) and secondary Google Cloud Platform services.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Server-side request forgery in MCP Toolbox for Databases (googleapis/mcp-toolbox)","id":"CVE-2026-16481","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"ssrf","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"rtMedia for WordPress, BuddyPress and bbPress \u003c= 4.7.11 - Unauthenticated SQL Injection via 'compare' Parameter","id":"CVE-2026-16482"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Missing authorization in Db2","id":"CVE-2026-16480"},"products":["MCP Toolbox for Databases (googleapis/mcp-toolbox)"],"published":"2026-07-27","related":[{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Path Traversal in googleapis/mcp-toolbox HTTP Tool URL Builder","id":"CVE-2026-11720","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-06-29"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"googleapis/mcp-toolbox: authentication bypass vulnerability in the generic opaque token validation path (validateOpaqueToken)","id":"CVE-2026-11717","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-06-18"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"googleapis/mcp-toolbox: authentication bypass vulnerability in the generic opaque token validation path (validateOpaqueToken)","id":"CVE-2026-11718","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-06-18"},{"cvss_score":8.6,"headline":"SQL Injection and Security Boundary Bypass in googleapis/mcp-toolbox","id":"CVE-2026-15829","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-07-21"},{"cvss_score":8.6,"headline":"MCP Toolbox for Databases: authenticated authorization bypass","id":"CVE-2026-11719","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-06-18"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Authorization Bypass in MCP Toolbox Legacy HTTP Endpoints","id":"CVE-2026-14537","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-07-31"},{"cvss_score":8,"headline":"Server-Side Request Forgery via Unrestricted HTTP Redirection in MCP Toolbox","id":"CVE-2026-14540","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-07-31"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-09-10","vendors":["Google"]},"summary":"Attackers can exploit SSRF in the FHIR fetch tool to exfiltrate OAuth tokens and access Protected Health Information via unvalidated URL parameters.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16481/"}
