Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires valid credentials with at least low-level privilege on the target LiteLLM proxy instance, as confirmed by PR:L in the CVSS 4.0 vector - unauthenticated attackers cannot trigger this vulnerability. The proxy must be deployed with the management UI or internal user endpoints network-accessible to the attacker. The specific vulnerable code path is the ui_view_users function in the internal user management module of the proxy component; deployments that do not expose management endpoints externally (e.g., management UI bound to localhost only) are not reachable from remote attackers. Exploitation is further bounded by impact: only low confidentiality exposure (user record enumeration) is achievable - no write, delete, or availability impact is possible through this vector. The incomplete-fix nature implies a prior authorization check was patched in CVE-2025-0628, so attackers must use the residual bypass path documented in the public POC rather than the original technique.

Impact

The CVSS 4.0 base score of 2.1 is low, reflecting the authentication prerequisite (PR:L), absence of integrity or availability impact (VI:N/VA:N), and only limited confidentiality exposure (VC:L). The E:P supplemental metric confirms a publicly available exploit, which meaningfully elevates practical risk above what the numeric score alone conveys - defenders should not dismiss this solely on score. The absence of a CISA KEV listing and the requirement for prior authenticated access significantly narrow the realistic attacker population to insiders, compromised-credential holders, or users who have obtained low-privilege accounts through other means. The incomplete-fix lineage of this CVE is a mild concern: repeat bypass vulnerabilities in the same function suggest the authorization logic may warrant a deeper architectural review rather than another point patch. No EPSS score was provided in the input data, so probabilistic exploitation frequency cannot be quantified from available signals. The overall assessment is moderate urgency - not a drop-everything emergency, but should be patched promptly given POC availability and the sensitivity of user enumeration in an LLM proxy context.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker holding a low-privilege account on a LiteLLM proxy deployment - such as a regular API user or a compromised service account - sends a crafted request to the ui_view_users management endpoint, exploiting the residual authorization bypass left by the incomplete CVE-2025-0628 fix to enumerate user records beyond their permitted scope. A public proof-of-concept on GitHub lowers the technical barrier significantly, making this accessible to script-level attackers. The harvested user metadata (usernames, roles, API key associations) could support follow-on attacks such as targeted credential stuffing or privilege escalation within the LiteLLM environment.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jun 22, 2026

Improper authorization in BerriAI LiteLLM versions up to 1.82.2 allows authenticated low-privilege users to access user data beyond their permitted scope via the ui_view_users management endpoint - an incomplete remediation of the prior CVE-2025-0628 authorization bypass in the same function. A public proof-of-concept exploit is available on GitHub (YLChen-007), confirming practical exploitability. No active exploitation is confirmed (not in CISA KEV), and the authentication requirement (CVSS 4.0 PR:L) constrains the attacker pool to those already holding valid credentials on the target proxy.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patched version is independently confirmed at time of analysis - neither the NVD record nor the VulDB advisory cites an explicit fix version. Administrators should monitor the BerriAI LiteLLM GitHub repository and release notes for a version that specifically addresses CVE-2026-12799 as a follow-up to the incomplete CVE-2025-0628 remediation. As an interim compensating control, restrict network access to the LiteLLM proxy management UI endpoints (including the user-listing endpoint) using firewall rules or reverse proxy ACLs, limiting reachability to trusted administrative IP ranges only - this trades off operational convenience for reduced exposure surface. Additionally, enforce authentication and role checks at the reverse proxy layer to prevent low-privilege users from reaching internal management endpoints entirely; note that this adds a dependency on the proxy configuration remaining correct. The public exploit POC at https://gist.github.com/YLChen-007/3ace22e33e468d0166fe609c9fdf4184 documents the specific bypass technique and should be reviewed to inform targeted mitigation until an official patch is released.

Technical ContextAI · show details

LiteLLM (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:berriai:litellm) is an open-source Python proxy and gateway that provides a unified interface for routing API calls to multiple LLM providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic, and others. The vulnerability originates in the ui_view_users function located at litellm/proxy/management_endpoints/internal_user_endpoints.py, which serves the management UI's user listing capability. CWE-285 (Improper Authorization) denotes that the application fails to enforce correct permission boundaries - the function does not adequately verify that the requesting principal is authorized to enumerate or inspect records belonging to other users. The explicit classification as an 'Incomplete Fix CVE-2025-0628' indicates that a prior patch partially addressed an authorization bypass in this same function but left at least one residual bypass path unresolved, a pattern that typically arises when the original fix targeted a specific exploitation vector rather than the underlying access-control logic holistically.
