DescriptionGitHub Advisory

AnythingLLM is an application that turns pieces of content into context that any LLM can use as references during chatting. If AnythingLLM prior to version 1.10.0 is configured to use Qdrant as the vector database with an API key, this QdrantApiKey could be exposed in plain text to unauthenticated users via the /api/setup-complete endpoint. Leakage of QdrantApiKey allows an unauthenticated attacker full read/write access to the Qdrant vector database instance used by AnythingLLM. Since Qdrant often stores the core knowledge base for RAG in AnythingLLM, this can lead to complete compromise of the semantic search / retrieval functionality and indirect leakage of confidential uploaded documents. Version 1.10.0 patches the issue.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

AnythingLLM versions up to 1.10.0 contain a high-severity vulnerability (CVSS 7.5) that enables attackers to compromise semantic search and retrieval functionality, potentially exposing sensitive data indexed within the system. Organizations using this platform face immediate risk of unauthorized data access and system compromise, particularly if AnythingLLM processes confidential or proprietary information.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

Disable semantic search and retrieval features until patch available; implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to filter malicious query patterns; restrict AnythingLLM network access to authorized users only via VPN/network segmentation; implement strict API rate limiting and input validation; enable comprehensive audit logging for all search queries; consider temporary removal of sensitive data from indexed repositories.
