NVD description
In mintplex-labs/anything-llm, an improper input validation vulnerability allows attackers to escalate privileges by deactivating 'Multi-User Mode'. By sending a specially crafted curl request with the 'multi_user_mode' parameter set to false, an attacker can deactivate 'Multi-User Mode'. This action permits the creation of a new admin user without requiring a password, leading to unauthorized administrative access.
What to do
- Upgrade AnythingLLM to
1.0.0or later. - Do not expose the component's API or UI to the internet without authentication in front of it.
