| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires that the LiteLLM proxy SSO feature is configured and in use, as the vulnerability is confined to the SSO Debug Flow code path in |
| Impact | The CVSS 4.0 score of 5.5 (Medium) reflects network-reachable, zero-privilege, zero-interaction exploitation (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N), but limits impact to Low across all three CIA dimensions on the vulnerable system (VC:L/VI:L/VA:L) with no subsequent-system impact (SC:N/SI:N/SA:N). The E:P exploit maturity modifier confirms a public POC exists, meaningfully increasing real-world exploitation likelihood beyond a raw numeric score would suggest. There is no CISA KEV listing, so confirmed active exploitation is not established. EPSS data was not provided in the intelligence feed, leaving exploitation probability quantification incomplete. The combination of PR:N network access, low complexity, and a publicly available exploit script elevates this beyond a typical medium-severity finding for any LiteLLM deployment with SSO enabled and management endpoints exposed to untrusted networks. The low CIA impact ratings suggest the immediate blast radius is constrained - likely limited to information disclosure of SSO debug state and potential session or flow manipulation - rather than full system compromise, but authentication bypass in an identity-adjacent component can serve as a stepping stone in a broader attack chain. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated remote attacker identifies a LiteLLM proxy instance with management endpoints reachable over the network and SSO configured. Using the publicly available POC from GitHub, the attacker sends a crafted HTTP request to the SSO debug endpoint in |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jun 22, 2026
Missing authentication in LiteLLM's SSO Debug Flow exposes the json.dumps output of the ui_sso.py management endpoint to unauthenticated remote attackers, enabling authentication bypass against versions up to 1.82.2. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) confirms this is network-exploitable with no privileges or user interaction required. A public proof-of-concept has been disclosed on GitHub, elevating practical risk beyond the moderate base score alone; no active exploitation has been confirmed by CISA KEV at the time of analysis.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch version has been independently confirmed in the available intelligence at time of analysis; the NVD entry and VulDB advisory should be monitored for an updated fixed release. Operators running LiteLLM 1.82.0 through 1.82.2 should immediately assess whether management endpoints, particularly the SSO debug path in ui_sso.py, are exposed to untrusted networks. As a compensating control, restrict network access to the LiteLLM proxy management API (typically port 4000 or as configured) to trusted administrative hosts only using firewall rules or an API gateway, accepting the trade-off that legitimate remote administration will require VPN or bastion access. Disabling SSO debug functionality via environment configuration or by removing or guarding the relevant route, if the application supports it, would directly eliminate the vulnerable code path. The public exploit is documented at https://gist.github.com/YLChen-007/9b13c75a3a73187a4082cc6df0b100d3 and should be reviewed to understand the precise endpoint and parameters involved before deploying workarounds.

Technical ContextAI · show details
LiteLLM (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:berriai:litellm:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) is an open-source LLM proxy and gateway developed by BerriAI, used to route requests across multiple large language model providers. The vulnerable component is the SSO (Single Sign-On) debug flow implemented in litellm/proxy/management_endpoints/ui_sso.py. The root cause is CWE-306 (Missing Authentication for Critical Function): the json.dumps serialization call within this debug code path executes and returns sensitive SSO-related data without enforcing authentication checks. Debug endpoints in proxy management interfaces commonly carry elevated risk because they are designed to expose internal state for troubleshooting, making the absence of an authentication gate particularly impactful. The CVSS 4.0 E:P modifier confirms the exploit has been publicly demonstrated.

Lifecycle Timeline
1DescriptionCVE.org
A vulnerability was determined in BerriAI litellm up to 1.82.2. This affects the function json.dumps of the file litellm/proxy/management_endpoints/ui_sso.py of the component SSO Debug Flow. Executing a manipulation can lead to missing authentication. The attack can be executed remotely. The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be utilized. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure.
