LiteLLM MCP endpoint authentication bypass via forged Authorization header (CVE-2026-59822)

Prior to version 1.84.0, LiteLLM's MCP Streamable HTTP endpoint let an unauthenticated attacker send a fabricated Authorization header that triggered an OAuth2 passthrough fallback, substituting an empty UserAPIKeyAuth() object for failed key validation and granting access to MCP tooling without a valid LiteLLM key. The issue was fixed in release 1.84.0.
