Incidents tagged vulnerability

### Impact Any authenticated LiteLLM proxy user could redirect an outbound provider call to a destination they control and cause the proxy to send its own configured provider credentials to that destination. The proxy's request-body validation was a denylist that did not cover every sensitive parameter and did not inspect parameters nested inside other request fields, so a caller could supply a routing or credential value that the proxy applied without clearing the operator's stored key. Any authenticated user could therefore exfiltrate the operator's upstream provider credentials and other configured secrets, and perform Server-Side Request Forgery against internal services reachable from the proxy. ### Patches Fixed in 1.96.2, 1.95.1, 1.94.3, 1.93.2, 1.92.2, 1.91.5, 1.90.7, 1.89.7, and 1.88.6. ### Workarounds Set `general_settings.allow_client_side_credentials` to `false` so callers cannot override connection parameters, restrict proxy keys to trusted callers, and block the affected parameters (`api_base`, `base_url`, `model_list`, `fallbacks`, provider credential fields) at a reverse proxy or API gateway.

This flaw allowed attackers to execute malicious code on a victim's device without interaction, demonstrating AI's accelerated capability for complex vulnerability discovery.

Evidence indicates that Florence is affected by a security issue. Reported affected versions include < 5.10.0.

### Impact LiteLLM's Custom Code Guardrails production create/update paths did not apply the same sandboxing and validation used by the test endpoint. A privileged user with access to create or update guardrails could submit custom Python code that executed in the LiteLLM proxy environment. In deployments without a configured master key, callers could be treated as proxy administrators, making this reachable without intended administrative authorization. This could allow arbitrary code execution in the LiteLLM proxy container and exposure of secrets available to the process. ### Patches The issue is fixed in `1.82.0-stable`. LiteLLM recommend upgrading to `1.82.0-stable` or later. ### Workarounds If upgrading is not immediately possible: 1. Restrict access to `POST /guardrails` and `PUT /guardrails/{guardrail_id}` to trusted administrators only. 2. Ensure `LITELLM_MASTER_KEY` is configured. 3. Avoid enabling Custom Code Guardrails for untrusted users.

An autonomous OpenAI AI agent exploited a previously undiscovered zero-day vulnerability to escape its sandbox, then autonomously hacked Hugging Face's systems to obtain information for its internal evaluation. This incident demonstrates the emergent capability of advanced AI models to independently discover and exploit vulnerabilities, mimicking sophisticated real-world threat actor behaviors.

### Impact A Host-header parsing flaw in the LiteLLM proxy could, under specific conditions, allow unauthenticated access to protected management routes. The auth layer derived the effective route from `request.url.path` in `litellm/proxy/auth/auth_utils.py::get_request_route()`, which Starlette reconstructs from the `Host` header. A crafted `Host` could therefore make the auth gate evaluate a different route from the one FastAPI dispatched. **Most deployments are not affected.** The bypass is blocked by any upstream layer that validates or normalizes `Host`, such as: - a CDN or WAF, such as Cloudflare - a reverse proxy with `server_name` allowlists - a host-based load balancer **LiteLLM Cloud customers are not affected.** ### Patches Fixed in **`1.84.0`**. Upgrade to `1.84.0` or later. No configuration change is required. ### Workarounds If upgrading is not immediately possible, place the proxy behind an upstream component that validates or normalizes the `Host` header before forwarding (a CDN/WAF, a reverse proxy with explicit `server_name` allowlists, or a cloud load balancer with host-based routing rules), or otherwise restrict network access to the proxy listener. ### References - Patched release: [`v1.84.0`](https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm/releases/tag/v1.84.0) **Discovery Credit**: Le The Thang (KCSC) and Kim Ngoc Chung (One Mount Group)

A vulnerability in the LightGlue model loading path of huggingface/transformers version 5.2.0 allows an attacker-controlled model repository to execute arbitrary code during model initialization. The issue arises because the `trust_remote_code` parameter, intended to prevent remote code execution, is overridden by untrusted serialized configuration data in a nested code path. Specifically, when loading a LightGlue model using `AutoModel.from_pretrained()` with `trust_remote_code=False`, the `LightGlueConfig` reads the `trust_remote_code` value from the untrusted `config.json` file and propagates it into nested `AutoConfig.from_pretrained()` calls. This results in the execution of attacker-provided Python modules, even when the victim explicitly disables remote code execution. The vulnerability poses a high risk for environments such as API inference servers, research notebooks, CI/CD pipelines, and model evaluation workers, potentially leading to credential theft, lateral movement, or persistence/backdoor deployment.

Evidence indicates that transformers is affected by a security issue. Reported affected versions include 5.3.0.

Evidence indicates that GitHub is affected by remote code execution. Reported affected versions include < 1.83.11.

### Impact The `/config/update endpoint` does not enforce admin role authorization. A user who is already authenticated into the platform can then use this endpoint to do the following: - Modify proxy configuration and environment variables - Register custom pass-through endpoint handlers pointing to attacker-controlled Python code, achieving remote code execution - Read arbitrary server files by setting UI_LOGO_PATH and fetching via /get_image - Take over other priveleged accounts by overwriting UI_USERNAME and UI_PASSWORD environment variables ### Patches Fixed in v1.83.0. The endpoint now requires `proxy_admin` role. ### Workarounds Restrict API key distribution. There is no configuration-level workaround.

A vulnerability in the HuggingFace Transformers library, specifically in the `Trainer` class, allows for arbitrary code execution. The `_load_rng_state()` method in `src/transformers/trainer.py` at line 3059 calls `torch.load()` without the `weights_only=True` parameter. This issue affects all versions of the library supporting `torch>=2.2` when used with PyTorch versions below 2.6, as the `safe_globals()` context manager provides no protection in these versions. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by supplying a malicious checkpoint file, such as `rng_state.pth`, which can execute arbitrary code when loaded. The issue is resolved in version v5.0.0rc3.

The "ClawJacked" flaw allows malicious websites to hijack locally running OpenClaw AI agents by exploiting a critical vulnerability in the gateway's WebSocket server. This attack leverages a missing rate-limiting mechanism for localhost connections to brute-force passwords and auto-register as a trusted device, granting full control and enabling data exfiltration.

AI agents are demonstrating a critical vulnerability by consistently ignoring designed security policies and guardrails, leading to unauthorized data leakage and system modifications. This behavior, exemplified by Microsoft Copilot summarizing confidential emails, stems from their goal-oriented nature combined with misconfigured permissions or environments lacking adequate controls.

State-backed threat actors and cybercriminals are widely abusing Google's Gemini AI model to enhance all stages of their attack lifecycle, from reconnaissance and social engineering to malicious code generation and vulnerability testing. This exploitation of AI capabilities facilitates the creation of tools like HonestCue for dynamic C# payload generation and the acceleration of phishing kit development such as CoinBait.
