Check Point Discloses Two High-Impact Vulnerabilities in LiteLLM AI Gateway Allowing Low-Privilege Users to Steal API Keys
Check Point Research has disclosed two vulnerabilities, CVE-2026-35029 and CVE-2026-59823, in the LiteLLM AI gateway that affect all versions prior to 1.83.9. The flaws enable low-privilege authenticated users to modify gateway configurations, read server files, redirect traffic, and perform SSRF attacks to access internal resources. LiteLLM serves as a unified proxy for over 140 AI providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, and Azure OpenAI, managing API keys, routing, and usage monitoring for enterprises worldwide. The configuration update endpoint lacks role-based access controls, allowing any authenticated user to alter settings and potentially achieve remote code execution. Combined with the SSRF vulnerability, attackers can pivot from low-privilege accounts to compromise internal networks and exfiltrate stored credentials. The project has exceeded 61,000 GitHub stars and recorded over 90 million monthly downloads, making the issues particularly widespread due to its embedding in numerous internal AI platforms. Organizations are advised to upgrade immediately, audit access to management endpoints, rotate all API keys, and scan for hidden LiteLLM instances in requirements files and dependencies.
