From version 1.81.16 to before version 1.83.7, a database query used during proxy API key checks mixed the caller-supplied key value into the query text instead of passing it as a separate parameter. An unauthenticated attacker could send a specially crafted Authorization header to any LLM API route (for example POST /chat/completions) and reach this query through the proxy's error-handling path. An attacker could read data from the proxy's database and may be able to modify it, leading to unauthorised access to the proxy and the credentials it manages. This issue has been patched in version 1.83.7.","published_at":"2026-05-08T03:38:14.124000Z","last_modified_at":null,"cvss_v3_score":9.8,"cvss_v3_vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","cvss_v3_severity":"CRITICAL","cvss_v4_score":9.3,"cvss_v4_vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","cvss_v4_severity":"CRITICAL","ssvc_decision":null,"ssvc_exploitation":null,"ssvc_automatable":null,"ssvc_technical_impact":null,"cwes":["CWE-89"],"nvd_references":["https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm/security/advisories/GHSA-r75f-5x8p-qvmc","https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm/releases/tag/v1.83.7-stable"],"vuln_status":null,"trending_score":0.632796751654217,"is_trending":true,"has_trended":true,"trended_number_one":false,"trending_peak_score":0.632796751654217,"trending_peak_rank":4,"started_trending_at":"2026-06-29T02:30:27.366045Z","trended_number_one_at":null,"summary_generated":null,"summary_generated_at":null,"summary_model":null,"created_at":"2026-06-24T00:09:31.350578Z","updated_at":"2026-06-29T02:30:27.550645Z"},"effective_severity":"CRITICAL","badges":["kev","poc","trending","epss"],"impact_analysis":[],"cvss_v3_decoded":{"version":"3.1","metrics":[{"metric":"AV","name":"Attack Vector","value":"N","value_label":"Network"},{"metric":"AC","name":"Attack Complexity","value":"L","value_label":"Low"},{"metric":"PR","name":"Privileges Required","value":"N","value_label":"None"},{"metric":"UI","name":"User Interaction","value":"N","value_label":"None"},{"metric":"S","name":"Scope","value":"U","value_label":"Unchanged"},{"metric":"C","name":"Confidentiality","value":"H","value_label":"High"},{"metric":"I","name":"Integrity","value":"H","value_label":"High"},{"metric":"A","name":"Availability","value":"H","value_label":"High"}]},"cvss_v4_decoded":{"version":"4.0","metrics":[{"metric":"AV","name":"Attack Vector","value":"N","value_label":"Network"},{"metric":"AC","name":"Attack Complexity","value":"L","value_label":"Low"},{"metric":"AT","name":"Attack Requirements","value":"N","value_label":"None"},{"metric":"PR","name":"Privileges Required","value":"N","value_label":"None"},{"metric":"UI","name":"User Interaction","value":"N","value_label":"None"},{"metric":"VC","name":"Confidentiality (Vulnerable System)","value":"H","value_label":"High"},{"metric":"VI","name":"Integrity (Vulnerable System)","value":"H","value_label":"High"},{"metric":"VA","name":"Availability (Vulnerable System)","value":"H","value_label":"High"},{"metric":"SC","name":"Confidentiality (Subsequent System)","value":"N","value_label":"None"},{"metric":"SI","name":"Integrity (Subsequent System)","value":"N","value_label":"None"},{"metric":"SA","name":"Availability (Subsequent System)","value":"N","value_label":"None"}]},"affected":[{"vendor_slug":"berriai","vendor_name":"BerriAI","product_slug":"litellm","product_name":"litellm","version_start":">= 1.81.16, < 1.83.7","version_start_inclusive":true,"version_end":">= 1.81.16, < 1.83.7","version_end_inclusive":true,"cpe23_uri":"cve5:berriai:litellm:>= 1.81.16, < 1.83.7:>= 1.81.16, < 1.83.7"}],"exploit_refs":[{"source":"nuclei","kind":"nuclei","url":"https://github.com/projectdiscovery/nuclei-templates/blob/main/http/cves/2026/CVE-2026-42208.yaml","title":"LiteLLM - SQL Injection","author":"HAERIN-L","disclosed_at":null}],"news":[],"references":[{"url":"https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm/security/advisories/GHSA-r75f-5x8p-qvmc","source_type":"VENDOR_ADVISORY","tags":["advisory"]},{"url":"https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm/releases/tag/v1.83.7-stable","source_type":"PATCH","tags":["patch"]}],"timeline":[{"type":"cisa_reported","at":"2026-05-08T00:00:00Z","label":"Added to CISA KEV catalog","source":"kev"},{"type":"published","at":"2026-05-08T03:38:14.124000Z","label":"CVE published","source":null},{"type":"poc_available","at":"2026-06-24T00:29:48.638073Z","label":"Public PoC available","source":"nuclei"},{"type":"cvss_changed","at":"2026-06-28T17:54:07.258310Z","label":"CVSS score revised","source":"cvelistv5"},{"type":"cvss_changed","at":"2026-06-28T17:54:07.258310Z","label":"CVSS score revised","source":"cvelistv5"},{"type":"cvss_changed","at":"2026-06-28T17:54:07.258310Z","label":"CVSS score revised","source":"cvelistv5"},{"type":"cvss_changed","at":"2026-06-28T17:54:07.258310Z","label":"CVSS score revised","source":"cvelistv5"},{"type":"cvss_changed","at":"2026-06-28T17:54:07.258310Z","label":"CVSS score revised","source":"cvelistv5"},{"type":"cvss_changed","at":"2026-06-28T17:54:07.258310Z","label":"CVSS score revised","source":"cvelistv5"},{"type":"started_trending","at":"2026-06-29T02:30:27.366045Z","label":"Started trending","source":null}]}
