When generating a key, the allowed_routes field is stored without verifying that the specified routes fall within the user's own permissions. A key created with access to admin-only routes can then be used to reach those routes successfully, bypassing the role-based access controls that would otherwise block the request, enabling full privilege escalation from internal_user to proxy_admin.","provenance":"source","from":"CVE.org"},"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"HIGH","version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","provenance":"source","from":"CVE.org CNA"},"epss":{"score":0.01185,"percentile":0.67711,"provenance":"source"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-863","name":"Incorrect Authorization"},{"id":"CWE-639","name":"Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key"}],"references":[{"url":"https://www.obsidiansecurity.com/blog/litellm-privilege-escalation-rce","tags":["technical-description","exploit"]},{"url":"https://gist.github.com/13ph03nix/9ec616e1fdc77b3673509c60206e827f","tags":["exploit","technical-description"]},{"url":"https://huntr.com/bounties/8e75edfb-ff05-4e63-bfca-2d93d03fb3b9","tags":["third-party-advisory","exploit"]},{"url":"https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm/releases/tag/v1.83.14-stable","tags":["release-notes"]},{"url":"https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm/commit/d910a95661fce3cdd36f3b06c03ecf9c46c6457c","tags":["patch"]},{"url":"https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm/commit/2220f3076ac89bd2a2e3439acf57dcfbec2434c9","tags":["patch"]},{"url":"https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm/commit/5190bd07eb23a037745d86328096f54378f1614a","tags":["patch"]},{"url":"https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/litellm-privilege-escalation-via-api-key-generation","tags":["third-party-advisory"]},{"url":"https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-47101","tags":["vdb-entry","x_refsource_REDHAT"]},{"url":"https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2480635","tags":["issue-tracking","x_refsource_REDHAT"]},{"url":"https://security.access.redhat.com/data/csaf/v2/vex/2026/cve-2026-47101.json","tags":["x_sadp-csaf-vex"]}],"priority":{"score":24.7,"factors":[{"name":"EPSS percentile","points":13.54},{"name":"Public exploit code","points":5.0},{"name":"CVSS severity","points":6.16}]},"exploitSources":{"pocGithub":{"count":2,"skipped":0,"earliest":"2026-05-25","earliestUrl":"https://github.com/learner202649/CVE-2026-47101-PoC","repos":[{"name":"learner202649/CVE-2026-47101-PoC","url":"https://github.com/learner202649/CVE-2026-47101-PoC","stars":0,"created":"2026-05-25"},{"name":"HORKimhab/CVE-LiteLLM","url":"https://github.com/HORKimhab/CVE-LiteLLM","stars":0,"created":"2026-06-16"}]},"first":{"date":"2026-05-25","source":"PoC-in-GitHub","url":"https://github.com/learner202649/CVE-2026-47101-PoC"},"provenance":"source"},"vendorSlug":"berriai","affectedVersions":[{"vendor":"BerriAI","product":"litellm","versions":["< 1.83.14"]}],"affected":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","package":"litellm","vulnerableRanges":["<1.83.14"],"patched":["1.83.14"],"from":["GHSA-qrc4-49gv-mv9m","PYSEC-2026-2598"],"provenance":"source"}],"euvd":{"id":"EUVD-2026-31346","exploited":false,"provenance":"source"},"exploitRefs":["https://www.obsidiansecurity.com/blog/litellm-privilege-escalation-rce","https://gist.github.com/13ph03nix/9ec616e1fdc77b3673509c60206e827f","https://huntr.com/bounties/8e75edfb-ff05-4e63-bfca-2d93d03fb3b9"],"lineage":{"packageHistory":[{"cve":"CVE-2026-40217","published":"2026-04-10","fixed":"1.83.10","kev":false},{"cve":"CVE-2026-47102","published":"2026-05-21","fixed":"1.83.10","kev":false,"link":{"from":"CVE-2026-47102","to":"CVE-2026-47101","relation":"successor","confidence":"low","kind":"sequence","orderedBy":"description","evidence":[{"kind":"version-step","provenance":"source","package":"PyPI:litellm","fromFixed":"1.83.10","toFixed":"1.83.14","daysApart":0}]}},{"cve":"CVE-2026-59819","published":"2026-07-08","fixed":"1.83.10","kev":false},{"cve":"CVE-2026-47101","published":"2026-05-21","fixed":"1.83.14","kev":false},{"cve":"CVE-2026-12773","published":"2026-06-21","fixed":"1.84.0","kev":false,"link":{"from":"CVE-2026-47101","to":"CVE-2026-12773","relation":"successor","confidence":"low","kind":"sequence","evidence":[{"kind":"version-step","provenance":"source","package":"PyPI:litellm","fromFixed":"1.83.14","toFixed":"1.84.0","daysApart":31}]}},{"cve":"CVE-2026-49468","published":"2026-06-22","fixed":"1.84.0","kev":false,"link":{"from":"CVE-2026-47101","to":"CVE-2026-49468","relation":"successor","confidence":"low","kind":"sequence","evidence":[{"kind":"version-step","provenance":"source","package":"PyPI:litellm","fromFixed":"1.83.14","toFixed":"1.84.0","daysApart":32}]}},{"cve":"CVE-2026-59822","published":"2026-07-08","fixed":"1.84.0","kev":true,"link":{"from":"CVE-2026-47101","to":"CVE-2026-59822","relation":"successor","confidence":"low","kind":"sequence","evidence":[{"kind":"version-step","provenance":"source","package":"PyPI:litellm","fromFixed":"1.83.14","toFixed":"1.84.0","daysApart":48}]}}],"package":"PyPI:litellm"}}
