Technical ContextAI · show details

This vulnerability is classified as SQL Injection (CWE-89), which allows attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands against the database. An SQL Injection vulnerability exists in the berriai/litellm repository, specifically within the /global/spend/logs endpoint. The vulnerability arises due to improper neutralization of special elements used in an SQL command. The affected code constructs an SQL query by concatenating an unvalidated api_key parameter directly into the query, making it susceptible to SQL Injection if the api_key contains malicious data. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access, data manipulation, exposure of confidential information, and denial of service (DoS). Affected products include: Litellm.

DescriptionNVD

An SQL Injection vulnerability exists in the berriai/litellm repository, specifically within the /global/spend/logs endpoint. The vulnerability arises due to improper neutralization of special elements used in an SQL command. The affected code constructs an SQL query by concatenating an unvalidated api_key parameter directly into the query, making it susceptible to SQL Injection if the api_key contains malicious data. This issue affects the latest version of the repository. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access, data manipulation, exposure of confidential information, and denial of service (DoS).

Attack Technique

SQL injection exploits the way applications construct database queries by mixing user input directly into SQL statements.

Authentication bypass attacks exploit flaws in the verification mechanisms that control access to systems and applications.

Denial of Service attacks render applications or systems unavailable by overwhelming resources or triggering failure conditions.
