How to fix?

Upgrade github.com/mudler/LocalAI/core to version 2.21.0 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure due to the handling of cryptographic algorithms during password verification. This is because the time it takes for the system to compare API keys using the == operator, can vary depending on how many characters match between the guessed key and the actual key, allowing attackers to guess the key by measuring response times.
