CVE-2026-64859: New API exposes admin token allowing full system control
CVE-2026-64859 · published 1 month ago
Summary
Versions of New API before 1.0.0-rc.7 return the root user's access token when an administrator asks for the user list. With that token, a signed‑in administrator can act as the root user and change any setting. Update to version 1.0.0-rc.7 or later and regenerate any tokens that may have been exposed.
What to do
- Update github.com quantumnous to version 1.0.0-rc.7.

Original advisory text
New API: User List API Leaks Root User Access Token Leading to Privilege Escalation
New API is a large language mode (LLM) gateway and artificial intelligence (AI) asset management system. Prior to 1.0.0-rc.7, the admin user list and user lookup APIs, including GET /api/user/, return User.AccessToken as access_token because User model objects are serialized after queries use Omit("password"), allowing an authenticated administrator to obtain the root user's bearer token and access root-only system configuration APIs. This issue is fixed in version 1.0.0-rc.7.
