1 technique across 1 tactic: Initial Access The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | No special conditions - remote unauthenticated exploitation against default configurations of AnythingLLM v1.8.5, because the /api/workspaces endpoint performs no authentication check (CWE-306). The practical limiting factors are: the instance must be network-reachable by the attacker (exposure is far higher for internet-facing deployments than for internal/localhost-only installs), only version 1.8.5 is confirmed affected per the CPE, and impact is confined to read-only disclosure of workspace configuration/system-prompt metadata - no authentication, user interaction, or non-default feature toggle is required, and no write, deletion, or code execution is possible through this flaw. |
| Impact | This is a genuine but moderate-severity information-disclosure issue, not a critical priority. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/C:L/I:N/A:N = 5.3, Medium) is internally consistent with the description: a network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated flaw whose only impact is limited confidentiality (read-only exposure of workspace metadata). There is no integrity or availability impact and no code execution - the attacker learns configuration data but cannot modify or crash the system. The EPSS score of 0.55% (45th percentile) is modest and reinforces that broad opportunistic exploitation is not currently predicted. This CVE is NOT on CISA KEV and there is no evidence of active exploitation. The three references (two gists authored by researcher Cristliu plus the project's GitHub issues page) strongly suggest that a public write-up and likely proof-of-concept exist, but the raw input provides no explicit POC=YES flag and the gist contents were not independently verified here. Signals are broadly aligned rather than conflicting: low CVSS, low EPSS, no KEV. The main real-world concern is that exposed system prompts (openAiPrompt) and AI/model configuration can aid reconnaissance or prompt-injection targeting of a self-hosted AI deployment, so internet-exposed AnythingLLM 1.8.5 instances should be patched or access-restricted, but this does not rise to emergency priority. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who can reach an internet-exposed AnythingLLM v1.8.5 instance sends an unauthenticated HTTP GET to /api/workspaces and receives a full dump of every workspace's identifiers, model/provider configuration, operational parameters, and system prompts. The leaked system prompts and vector/chat settings are then used to profile the deployment and craft targeted prompt-injection or social-engineering follow-up. Referenced public gists appear to document the request and response, lowering the skill needed, though no CISA-confirmed exploitation exists. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 13, 2026
Unauthenticated remote attackers can exploit AnythingLLM v1.8.5 to enumerate and retrieve detailed workspace configuration data via the /api/workspaces endpoint, which lacks proper authentication checks (CWE-306). This read-only information disclosure affects only instances running version 1.8.5 that are network-reachable, exposing workspace identifiers, AI model settings, system prompts, and operational parameters. No public exploit code is identified at time of analysis, and the EPSS score of 0.55% (45th percentile) indicates a low likelihood of exploitation, consistent with a moderate-severity issue rather than active exploitation.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch or fixed version is identified in the provided data. Administrators should check the Mintplex Labs AnythingLLM GitHub repository and issue tracker for an updated release that addresses the missing authentication check. Until a patch is available, restrict network access to the AnythingLLM instance-especially the /api/workspaces endpoint-using firewall rules or by placing the service behind an authenticating reverse proxy; this reduces exposure but does not fix the underlying flaw and may add latency or require API client reconfiguration. Monitor logs for unexpected GET requests to /api/workspaces from untrusted sources. Do not expose the instance directly to the internet without additional access controls.

Technical ContextAI · show details
AnythingLLM is an open-source application from Mintplex Labs for building private LLM chat interfaces. The vulnerability resides in the /api/workspaces REST endpoint, which fails to implement any authentication check before returning sensitive configuration details-a classic instance of CWE-306 (Missing Authentication for Critical Function). The CPE cpe:2.3:a:mintplexlabs:anythingllm:1.8.5 confirms that only version 1.8.5 is identified as affected. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N) indicates that the flaw is remotely exploitable without authentication or user interaction, but the impact is limited to confidentiality (low) with no integrity or availability impact. The endpoint exposes data such as workspace IDs, names, slugs, AI provider and model configurations, system prompts, temperature settings, history length, similarity thresholds, vector search settings, chat modes, and timestamps.

DescriptionCVE.org
An authentication bypass vulnerability exists in AnythingLLM v1.8.5 in via the /api/workspaces endpoint. The endpoint fails to implement proper authentication checks, allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to enumerate and retrieve detailed information about all configured workspaces. Exposed data includes: workspace identifiers (id, name, slug), AI model configurations (chatProvider, chatModel, agentProvider), system prompts (openAiPrompt), operational parameters (temperature, history length, similarity thresholds), vector search settings, chat modes, and timestamps.
