# CVE-2026-35029: LiteLLM: Privilege escalation via unrestricted proxy configuration endpoint

## TL;DR
LiteLLM: Privilege escalation via unrestricted proxy configuration endpoint

## Key Points
- cve / CVE-2026-35029 / PYSEC-2026-2597 / severity:CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:L/SI:L/SA:N / litellm / PyPI

## Details
**Severity:** CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:L/SI:L/SA:N
**Advisory:** PYSEC-2026-2597 (CVE-2026-35029)

**Affected (your watchlist):**
- `PyPI:litellm` 1.72.6.post2 → fixed in 1.83.0 [docker/docker-strands]

**Details:**
### Impact

The `/config/update endpoint` does not enforce admin role authorization. A user who is already authenticated into the platform can then use this endpoint to do the following:

  - Modify proxy configuration and environment variables
  - Register custom pass-through endpoint handlers pointing to attacker-controlled Python code, achieving remote code execution
  - Read arbitrary server files by setting UI_LOGO_PATH and fetching via /get_image
  - Take over other priveleged accounts by overwriting UI_USERNAME and UI_PASSWORD environment variables

### Patches

Fixed in v1.83.0. The endpoint now requires `proxy_admin` role.

### Workarounds

Restrict API key distribution. There is no configuration-level workaround.
