NewCVE-2026-114612  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-287  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade litellm to version 1.100.4, 1.101.3, 1.102.2, 1.103.1, 1.104.0rc2 or higher.

Overview

litellm is a Library to easily interface with LLM API providers

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Authentication via the UI/CLI session token encryption context in encrypt_value_helper (now encrypt_bearer_token) within litellm/proxy/common_utils/encrypt_decrypt_utils.py. Session tokens issued for the dashboard and CLI SSO flows are encrypted without a binding AES-GCM additional authenticated data (AAD) context, allowing an attacker who obtains a session token issued for one context (e.g. CLI) to replay it in another context (e.g. UI), bypassing the intended authentication boundary and gaining unauthorized access with the privileges of the original token holder. The fix binds UI and CLI session tokens to their own AES-GCM context by introducing a dedicated prefix as AAD, so tokens are cryptographically scoped and cannot be cross-replayed.

Note: Versions 1.87.0 through 1.90.x are only exploitable if EXPERIMENTAL_UI_LOGIN=true is explicitly set; versions 1.91.0 and later are exploitable in the default configuration.
