Unauthenticated account access via bearer token traversal
Published Jul 2, 2026 · Updated Jul 2, 2026
Authentication bypass in fast-mcp-telegram before 0.19.1 allows remote attackers to access the default Telegram account via HTTP. SessionFileTokenVerifier.verify_token() appends an unvalidated bearer token to a session-file path and accepts a traversal alias for the reserved telegram session. Exposure requires HTTP authentication and an existing default telegram.session file; successful access permits reading messages, sending messages, and invoking available MTProto tools.
