CVE-2026-59819 BerriAI CVE debrief

Who should care

LiteLLM users and administrators should be aware of this vulnerability and ensure they are running version 1.83.10-stable or later to prevent potential file reads. This includes operators, platform administrators, vulnerability management teams, and security teams who need to assess the impact on their environments and take appropriate actions. Affected deployments should be identified, and owners should be assigned for follow-up. Compensating controls should be reviewed for exposed systems while remediation is scheduled and verified.

Technical summary

The vulnerability exists in the /health/test_connection endpoint of LiteLLM's proxy server. An attacker with the necessary permissions could craft a request that resolves environment and OIDC file references in litellm_params, potentially leading to unauthorized file reads. This issue allows a proxy administrator or another privileged caller with permission to test model connections to read files from the local filesystem via an oidc/file/ reference. The vulnerability class involves unauthorized file reads, and the source confidence is high based on the CVE and NVD entries. LiteLLM users and administrators should be aware of the potential impact and ensure they are running version 1.83.10-stable or later to prevent potential file reads.

Defensive priority

Low-Medium

Recommended defensive actions

• Update LiteLLM to version 1.83.10-stable or later
• Restrict access to the /health/test_connection endpoint
• Monitor for suspicious activity
• Confirm whether affected product deployments exist in managed environments and assign an owner for follow-up
• Review the supplied official advisory or CVE record to validate affected scope, severity, and vendor guidance
• Plan vendor-supported updates or mitigations through normal change control where exposure is confirmed
• Check relevant monitoring, detection, and logs for exposed assets that need extra review
