Vulnerability in github.com/QuantumNous/new-api (CVE-2026-64865)
Summary
Vulnerability in github.com/QuantumNous/new-api (CVE-2026-64865). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Exploitable via PUT /api/user/self. Mitigation: upgrade to 1.0.0-rc.16 or later.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
Summary
Authenticated users can repeatedly call PUT /api/user/self with language or sidebar_modules while relay requests are consuming quota. The settings path reads a full User snapshot and writes it back through User.Update(), which refreshes Redis with RedisHSetObj and overwrites the Quota field. This can erase concurrent HINCRBY quota deductions and keep cached balance artificially high, allowing calls far beyond the paid quota.
Impact
A low-privileged authenticated user may bypass quota enforcement and cause financial loss to operators. Authentication and pre-consumption use cached quota, while DB/log usage can continue increasing.
Affected Components
- controller/user.go: UpdateSelf language/sidebar_modules branches
- model/user.go: User.Update / UpdateWithTx full snapshot update
- model/user_cache.go: updateUserCache RedisHSetObj full hash write
- model/user.go: GetUserQuota reads Redis cache first
Root Cause
Normal billing uses Redis HINCRBY on user:.Quota, while settings updates use a stale full user snapshot to HSET the entire cache hash, including Quota. These two writers race on the same Redis field.
Patches
This issue is fixed in v1.0.0-rc.16. The fix makes user setting updates field-scoped, prevents stale user snapshots from overwriting accounting fields, and keeps generic user cache refreshes from modifying Quota. Quota cache updates are reserved for atomic quota delta paths or explicit quota synchronization paths.

CVE-2026-64865 (github.com/QuantumNous/new-api) — CWE-362
Attack surface: PUT /api/user/self
Patched: 1.0.0-rc.16 — apply immediately
Workaround: If upgrading immediately is not possible, operators should temporarily restrict or rate-limit PUT /api/user/self and avoid allowing frequent user setting updates while Redis-backed quota cache is enabled.
Plan: 1) Audit SBOM/dependencies, 2) Stage→prod upgrade, 3) Add WAF/proxy monitoring on affected endpoints, 4) Hunt IOCs in logs.
