# CVE-2026-77519: MaxKB: Expired application API keys remain usable on \`/chat/api/mcp\`

- Also known as: GHSA-R6G6-69FH-C39Q
- Severity: CVSS 5.4 (Medium), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=poc, automatable=no, technicalImpact=partial
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Published: 2026-09-21 · Updated: 2026-09-24

## Affected

- 1Panel-dev MaxKB: through 2.10.2-lts

## Description

MaxKB is an open-source AI assistant for enterprise. In 2.10.2-lts and earlier, the /chat/api/mcp authentication path looks up an ApplicationApiKey using only its secret and active status, without enforcing the is_permanent and expire_time checks used by the standard chat API. A previously valid, non-permanent application key that remains active after expiration can initialize the MCP endpoint, list the published application's tool metadata, invoke tools/call, and create durable application_chat and application_chat_record state even though /chat/api/open rejects the same key. No fixed version is available as of this review.
