NVD description
A JSON Injection vulnerability exists in the mintplex-labs/anything-llm application, specifically within the username parameter during the login process at the /api/request-token endpoint. The vulnerability arises from improper handling of values, allowing attackers to perform brute force attacks without prior knowledge of the username. Once the password is known, attackers can conduct blind attacks to ascertain the full username, significantly compromising system security.
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.
