Description

A cross-session information disclosure vulnerability exists in the awesome-llm-apps project in commit e46690f99c3f08be80a9877fab52acacf7ab8251 (2026-01-19). The affected Streamlit-based GitHub MCP Agent stores user-supplied API tokens in process-wide environment variables using os.environ without proper session isolation. Because Streamlit serves multiple concurrent users from a single Python process, credentials provided by one user remain accessible to subsequent unauthenticated users. An attacker can exploit this issue to retrieve sensitive information such as GitHub Personal Access Tokens or LLM API keys, potentially leading to unauthorized access to private resources and financial abuse.
