AI-suggested
A fix is available in LiteLLM version 1.83.0. Users should upgrade to this version to remediate the vulnerability. Until upgrading, restrict network access to the LiteLLM service to trusted hosts or networks only by implementing firewall rules to limit inbound connections to the service port. This reduces exposure of the vulnerable endpoint to unauthorized authenticated users.
Description
CVE-2026-35029 is a high-severity vulnerability in LiteLLM, an AI Gateway proxy server. Prior to version 1.83.0, the /config/update endpoint lacks proper admin role authorization, allowing any authenticated user to modify proxy configurations and environment variables. This can lead to remote code execution, unauthorized reading of server files, and takeover of privileged accounts. The issue is fixed in LiteLLM version 1.83.0.
