CVE-2026-16481
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
A Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) and credential exfiltration vulnerability exists in the cloud-healthcare-fhir-fetch-page tool of googleapis/mcp-toolbox. The 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.

"value": "Una falsificación de petición del lado del servidor (SSRF) y vulnerabilidad de exfiltración de credenciales existe en la herramienta cloud-healthcare-fhir-fetch-page de googleapis/mcp-toolbox.\n\nLa herramienta toma un parámetro pageURL no validado del cliente y emite una petición GET HTTP a este usando un cliente autenticado. El transporte subyacente adjunta automáticamente un encabezado Authorization: Bearer a cada petición saliente independientemente del host de destino. Un atacante puede proporcionar una URL externa arbitraria al parámetro pageURL (ya sea directamente a través de la carga útil de ejecución de la herramienta o implícitamente a través de bucles de seguimiento de paginación basados en datos), llevando a Toolbox a enviar su token de acceso de OAuth/cuenta de servicio a un oyente controlado por el atacante. Dependiendo de la configuración, esto filtra el token del usuario final o el token de acceso de cuenta de servicio más amplio (ADC), exponiendo potencialmente Información de Salud Protegida (PHI) y servicios secundarios de Google Cloud Platform."
