  "details" : [ "LiteLLM is a proxy server (AI Gateway) to call LLM APIs in OpenAI (or native) format. Prior to 1.83.0, 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 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, and take over other privileged accounts by overwriting UI_USERNAME and UI_PASSWORD environment variables. Fixed in v1.83.0.", "A flaw was found in LiteLLM, an AI Gateway proxy server. An authenticated user can exploit a missing authorization check on the `/config/update` endpoint. This allows the user to modify proxy configurations and environment variables, leading to remote code execution by registering custom endpoint handlers. Additionally, this vulnerability enables unauthorized reading of server files and potential takeover of privileged accounts through environment variable manipulation." ],
  "statement" : "This Important flaw in LiteLLM allows an authenticated user to bypass authorization on the `/config/update` endpoint. This enables modification of proxy configurations and environment variables, leading to remote code execution, unauthorized file access, and potential account takeover. Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform, Lightspeed Core, and Red Hat OpenShift AI are affected.",
