Privilege Escalation via Insecure Preferences Endpoints in AnythingLLM

Publication date: 2026-03-16

Last updated on: 2026-03-16

Assigner: GitHub, Inc.

Description
AnythingLLM is an application that turns pieces of content into context that any LLM can use as references during chatting. In 1.11.1 and earlier, The two generic system-preferences endpoints allow manager role access, while every other surface that touches the same settings is restricted to admin only. Because of this inconsistency, a manager can call the generic endpoints directly to read plaintext SQL database credentials and overwrite admin-only global settings such as the default system prompt and the Community Hub API key.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists in AnythingLLM version 1.11.1 and earlier, where two generic system-preferences endpoints allow access to users with the manager role, while other interfaces that interact with the same settings restrict access to admin users only.

Due to this inconsistency, a manager can directly call these generic endpoints to read plaintext SQL database credentials and overwrite global settings that should be restricted to admins, such as the default system prompt and the Community Hub API key.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information, such as plaintext SQL database credentials, to users with manager-level access.

Additionally, it allows these users to overwrite critical global settings that should be admin-only, potentially compromising the integrity and security of the system.
