Vulnerabilidad · Publicado 21/08/2026
Headroom's LLM proxy contiene una vulnerabilidad de autenticación insuficiente (CVSS 9.1) en el encabezado x-headroom-user-id que permite a atacantes acceder y modificar datos de memoria de otros usuarios sin autorización. El fallo afecta rutas de chat completion y websocket en headroom/proxy/handlers/openai.py. Empresas que usan este proxy para gestionar modelos de lenguaje corren riesgo de exposición de datos sensibles y suplantación de identidad.
Headroom's LLM proxy derives the memory owner from the x-headroom-user-id request header. The header is read directly at several points in headroom/proxy/handlers/openai.py, including the chat completion and websocket paths, and nothing binds the value to the caller. A client can therefore name another user's identifier and read or write that user's stored LLM memory. The fix introduces a single resolve_memory_identity seam in headroom/proxy/identity.py that honors the header only for loopback or allowlisted callers and otherwise binds the identity to the proxy-token fingerprint or the operating system user. The pip console script binds 127.0.0.1 by default, but the reference docker-compose.yml ships --host 0.0.0.0 with published ports and no required HEADROOM_PROXY_TOKEN, which the server itself warns about at startup, so a deployment following the shipped compose exposes the affected data-plane routes to the network without authentication.
