Exploitation needs an authenticated funded account, so PR:L not PR:N; no data disclosure gives C:N, while billing-integrity corruption and upstream fund drain justify I:H and A:H.

DescriptionCVE.org

New API is a large language mode (LLM) gateway and artificial intelligence (AI) asset management system. Prior to 1.0.0-rc.18, user-controlled image n, video seconds and duration, max_tokens, max_completion_tokens, maxOutputTokens, audio duration, and billing-expression quantities can overflow conversions in common/quota_math.go and related settlement paths, allowing a low-privileged account with positive balance or an active subscription to turn a negative charge into account credit and potentially drain upstream funds. This issue is fixed in version 1.0.0-rc.18.

AnalysisAI

Financial fraud via integer overflow in QuantumNous New API (an LLM gateway and AI asset-management platform) lets a low-privileged account with a positive balance or active subscription manipulate user-controlled billing multipliers so that a computed charge wraps into account credit and can drain upstream provider funds. The flaw sits in quota settlement math (common/quota_math.go and related paths) across image, video, audio, and token-count fields, and is fixed in 1.0.0-rc.18. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Requires an authenticated New API account that is low-privileged but must hold a positive balance or an active subscription - that funded/active state is the explicit prerequisite named in the advisory, because settlement paths only trigger for accounts eligible to be charged. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment This is a genuine, high-priority integrity/financial-abuse issue rather than a theoretical high-CVSS artifact, but the input signals conflict on one key point. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Upgrade to New API 1.0.0-rc.18, which is the vendor-released patch (https://github.com/QuantumNous/new-api/releases/tag/v1.0.0-rc.18); this adds saturating quota conversion and input bounds on all billing multipliers and is the primary fix. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: immediately disable QuantumNous New API in production, revoke all API tokens, and preserve audit logs for forensic analysis. …
