litellm passes untrusted data to `eval` function without sanitization

High severity GitHub Reviewed Published May 18, 2024 to the GitHub Advisory Database • Updated May 20, 2024

Package

pip litellm (pip)

Affected versions

<= 1.28.11

Patched versions

None

Description

A remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability exists in the berriai/litellm project due to improper control of the generation of code when using the eval function unsafely in the litellm.get_secret() method. Specifically, when the server utilizes Google KMS, untrusted data is passed to the eval function without any sanitization. Attackers can exploit this vulnerability by injecting malicious values into environment variables through the /config/update endpoint, which allows for the update of settings in proxy_server_config.yaml.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
