CVE-2026-48529: GitHub MCP Server shares first user's credentials in lockdown mode
In GitHub's official MCP Server versions 0.22.0 through 1.1.1, running in HTTP mode with --lockdown-mode enabled caused the RepoAccessCache to be a process-global singleton initialized with the first authenticated user's GraphQL client, so all later users' lockdown-related GraphQL queries ran under the first user's credentials. The issue is fixed in version 1.1.2.

Impact
