What is CVE-2024-5225?
CVE-2024-5225 is a medium-severity SQL injection vulnerability in berriai/litellm, published on 6 Jun 2024. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.
Official description
An SQL Injection vulnerability exists in the berriai/litellm repository, specifically within the `/global/spend/logs` endpoint. The vulnerability arises due to improper neutralization of special elements used in an SQL command. The affected code constructs an SQL query by concatenating an unvalidated `api_key` parameter directly into the query, making it susceptible to SQL Injection if the `api_key` contains malicious data. This issue affects the latest version of the repository. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access, data manipulation, exposure of confidential information, and denial of service (DoS).
Weakness: CWE-89
