NVD description

Crawl4AI before 0.8.8 contains credential exfiltration vulnerabilities in the Docker API server that allow attackers to redirect LLM API calls to attacker-controlled endpoints and read arbitrary environment variables. Attackers can exploit the unauthenticated /md, /llm, and /llm/job endpoints by supplying a malicious base_url parameter and setting api_token to env:VARIABLE_NAME to exfiltrate provider API keys and server secrets including JWT SECRET_KEY for authentication bypass.

    Disclosure

    🚨 HIGH - Crawl4AI Docker API server credential exfiltration via base_url/env token injection (CVE-2026-56259) Crawl4AI’s Docker API server exposes unauthenticated /md, /llm, and /llm/job endpoints that allow attackers to redirect LLM API calls and leak secrets from the runtime environment. The root cause is improper input validation and insecure configuration handling, where attacker-supplied base_url is trusted and api_token supports env:VARIABLE_NAME expansion. An attacker can exploit this remotely with no authentication by submitting a malicious base_url pointing to an attacker-controlled endpoint and using env: lookups to force the service to read and transmit environment variables (including provider API keys). Impact includes credential exfiltration and potential full auth bypass if sensitive values like JWT SECRET_KEY are exposed, enabling account/session forgery and broader compromise. 👉 Affected: crawl4ai < 0.8.8 | Upgrade to 0.8.8

    Post summary

    The tweet announces CVE‑2026‑56259 in Crawl4AI, describing unauthenticated credential exfiltration via base_url/token injection and recommends upgrading to version 0.8.8 to remediate the issue.
