LiteLLM GHSA-7hp6-4w63-5g45 (30 Sep): salt-key reuse → internal_user to proxy_admin + RCE (CVSS 9.9)

BerriAI LiteLLM GitHub security advisory GHSA-7hp6-4w63-5g45 (published 30 September 2026; Critical CVSS 3.1 9.9; CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H) — authenticated internal_user can escalate to proxy_admin and execute arbitrary commands. Root cause: one encryption key seals secrets at rest and mints session tokens. Attacker requests a new API key with crafted metadata containing a forged admin credential as the “secret”; proxy encrypts and returns it; presenting that value as a bearer token decrypts to a trusted admin identity, including MCP stdio command execution. Default-config exploitable on versions later than 1.91.0; 1.87.0–1.90.x only if EXPERIMENTAL_UI_LOGIN=true. Patched: 1.100.4, 1.101.3, 1.102.2, 1.103.1, 1.104.0rc2 (per advisory ranges). Interim: EXPERIMENTAL_UI_LOGIN=false (disables vulnerable path; breaks CLI SSO / Claude Code gateway login). Credit: Hoa X. Nguyen (OPSWAT Unit 515). Category tech (AI gateway stack).

Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager CVE-2026-76504 (CVSS 9.8): unauth API→admin — exploited; CISA KEV added 1 Oct

Cisco PSIRT advisory cisco-sa-sdwan-webauth-xr8beuuU (first published 30 September 2026 13:00 GMT) covers CVE-2026-76504 (CVSS 3.1 9.8 Critical; CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) in Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager API session-based authentication. Improper URI encoding lets an unauthenticated remote attacker bypass an authentication rule and access the API as the admin user (default netadmin). Affects Catalyst SD-WAN Manager regardless of configuration. Cisco PSIRT became aware of active exploitation in September 2026 (found via TAC case); no public victim count or actor named. Fixed trains: earlier than 20.9 → migrate; 20.9.10.1; 20.12.8.2; 20.15.6.1; 20.18.4.1; 26.1.2.1; 26.2.1. Cisco SD-WAN Cloud (Cisco Managed) already remediated in 20.15.605 (no customer action). No workaround; until patched restrict Manager from untrusted/internet networks and follow Catalyst SD-WAN Hardening Guide. Hunt j_security_check (incl.

Acer NitroSense/PredatorSense CVE-2026-50610 (CVSS 4.0 7.4): System Monitor named pipe → SYSTEM registry write / LPE

CVE-2026-50610 (CVE.org record updated 17 September 2026; Intrinsec public write-up 29 September 2026) is a local privilege-escalation flaw in the Acer System Monitoring component shipped with NitroSense and PredatorSense. Insufficient access control on a privileged Windows service (AcerSysHardwareService / systemmonitoring_hardware_service_ named pipe writable by Authenticated Users) lets an authenticated local user trigger unauthorized registry modifications as SYSTEM (CWE-284). Intrinsec’s research chain writes a utilman debugger value and obtains NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM from the login-screen accessibility path. CVE.org CVSS 4.0 7.4 HIGH (AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:H/SI:H/SA:H/E:U); product status lists affected through 1.0.19.2. Intrinsec notes tested AcerSysHardwareService.exe builds 1.0.1018.13 / 1.0.1019.0 (NitroSense 5.1.361 engine).

Zilliz Attu 2.6.5 (Bishop Fox 29 Sep): unauth Playground proxy + private-IP bypass → EKS/K8s namespace takeover; fix Attu 3.0.0 (2.6.x unmaintained)

Bishop Fox advisory (29 September 2026) details two vulnerabilities in Zilliz Attu 2.6.5 — the GUI admin tool for the Milvus vector database used in AI/ML stacks. Missing authentication (Bishop Fox: Critical) in the Playground feature lets unauthenticated attackers proxy arbitrary HTTP/HTTPS requests through an exposed Attu instance. Insecure input validation (Bishop Fox: High) bypasses private-IP blocking (DNS resolve vs host-header split), enabling requests to internal addresses and cloud metadata endpoints. Combined in a typical Milvus+Attu Amazon EKS deployment, Bishop Fox demonstrated administrative access to the Kubernetes namespace hosting Attu (and possible wider cloud impact depending on service-account permissions). No CVE identifiers assigned in the advisory. Vendor: Attu 2.6.x is no longer maintained and will not receive a 2.6.5 patch; upgrade to Attu 3.0.0 (released 3 Sep 2026; substantial rewrite). Bishop Fox could not reproduce either issue on 3.0.0. If upgrade is delayed: restrict network access, put Attu behind an authenticating reverse proxy, and tightly scope the Attu pod’s Kubernetes service-account permissions. Desk does not reproduce the chain. Primary: Bishop Fox 29 Sep; vendor path: Attu 3.0.0 release.
