Description
LiteLLM is a proxy server (AI Gateway) to call LLM APIs in OpenAI (or native) format. Prior to 1.83.10-stable, LiteLLM's /health/test_connection endpoint resolved request-supplied environment and OIDC file references in litellm_params, allowing a proxy administrator or another privileged caller with permission to test model connections to read files from the local filesystem via an oidc/file/ reference. This issue is fixed in version 1.83.10-stable.

AI Analysis

Impact

A flaw in the /health/test_connection endpoint of LiteLLM allows an authorized caller to provide an oidc/file reference that the server resolves against the host’s local filesystem. This gives the attacker the ability to read arbitrary files on the host, potentially exposing configuration data, secrets, or other sensitive information. The weakness is a classic local file read (CWE‑22, CWE‑73) and does not grant code execution but can compromise confidentiality for any file accessible to the server.

Affected Systems

All BerriAI LiteLLM releases older than version 1.83.10-stable are impacted. Releases from v1.83.10-stable onward contain a fix that blocks resolution of OIDC file references in this endpoint. The vulnerability therefore affects any installation of LiteLLM running one of the older versions on any supported platform.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 2.1 indicates low severity, and the EPSS score below 1% reflects a low probability of exploitation. The flaw requires the attacker to have permission to invoke the /health/test_connection endpoint, typically restricted to administrators or internal users, which narrows the attack surface. While the overall risk is low, the potential to read confidential files warrants timely remediation in environments that store sensitive data.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update LiteLLM to version 1.83.10-stable or later.
  • Restrict permission to the /health/test_connection endpoint to administrators or authorized roles only.
  • Validate request payloads to reject or strip any oidc/file references before processing.
