CVE-2026-49468

LiteLLM: Authentication Bypass via Host Header Injection PUBLISHED

Description (CNA)

LiteLLM is a proxy server (AI Gateway) to call LLM APIs in OpenAI (or native) format. Prior to 1.84.0, a Host-header parsing flaw in the LiteLLM proxy could, under specific conditions, allow unauthenticated access to protected management routes. The auth layer derived the effective route from request.url.path in litellm/proxy/auth/auth_utils.py::get_request_route(), which Starlette reconstructs from the Host header. A crafted Host could therefore make the auth gate evaluate a different route from the one FastAPI dispatched. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.84.0.

A flaw was found in LiteLLM, a proxy server (AI Gateway) used to call Large Language Model (LLM) APIs. A remote attacker could exploit a Host-header parsing vulnerability in the proxy authentication layer. By sending a crafted Host header, an attacker could gain unauthenticated access to protected management routes, potentially leading to full system compromise.
