LiteLLM vulnerability analysis and mitigation
Overview
A Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability exists in berriai/litellm version v1.44.5. The vulnerability (CVE-2024-8984) allows attackers to exploit the system by appending characters, such as dashes (-), to the end of a multipart boundary in an HTTP request. This vulnerability is particularly concerning as it requires no authentication or user interaction to exploit, potentially affecting all service users (NVD).
Technical details
The vulnerability has been assigned a CVSS v3.0 base score of 7.5 (HIGH) with the vector string CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H. The issue is classified under CWE-400 (Uncontrolled Resource Consumption). When exploited, the server continuously processes each appended character, leading to excessive resource consumption (NVD, Huntr).
Impact
The primary impact of this vulnerability is service unavailability. When successfully exploited, the attack leads to excessive resource consumption, ultimately rendering the service unavailable. This affects all users of the service, potentially causing significant disruption to operations that depend on the litellm service (NVD).
