Description
EFAK 5.0.0 through 5.1.0 contains a missing authorization vulnerability that allows authenticated low-privilege users to read LLM provider API keys through the /api/model-config REST API. Attackers with any ROLE_USER account can query /api/model-config/page or /api/model-config/{id} to retrieve unmasked keys, enabling provider account access and incurred costs.

Score: 7.1 High

KEV: No
Impact: Unauthorized disclosure of LLM provider API keys
Action: Immediate Patch
AI Analysis

Impact

Authenticated users with any ROLE_USER account can query the /api/model-config/page or /api/model-config/{id} endpoints to retrieve unmasked LLM provider API keys. The missing authorization check allows low‑privilege users to expose credentials that grant external account access, potentially leading to unauthorized usage, elevated costs, and data access beyond intended scope. This flaw represents a disclosure of sensitive tokens rather than code execution.

Affected Systems

smartloli EFAK 5.0.0 through 5.1.0 are affected. Any deployment of these versions running the efak-web component with the default security configuration is vulnerable. The vulnerability originates in the ModelConfigController and the WebSecurityConfig classes.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.1 indicates a high impact for confidentiality, while the EPSS score is not available. The flaw can be exploited by any authenticated user with a standard role without elevated privileges. Because the disclosure involves sensitive API keys, the risk includes unexpected charges and potential data extraction from third‑party LLM services. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, and there is no publicly disclosed exploit yet, but the lack of authorization control makes it a critical asset‑access issue.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Verify that the running EFAK version is between 5.0.0 and 5.1.0 and upgrade to a patched release where the /api/model-config endpoints enforce proper authorization checks.
  • If an immediate patch is not available, rotate or remove the exposed API keys from the model configuration to invalidate any maliciously obtained credentials.
  • Adjust the application’s security configuration to require ROLE_ADMIN for all /api/model-config requests, ensuring that only privileged users can access the endpoint.
