Vulnerability in github.com/QuantumNous/new-api (CVE-2026-64866)
Summary
Vulnerability in github.com/QuantumNous/new-api (CVE-2026-64866). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Exploitable via DELETE /api/user/. Mitigation: upgrade to 1.0.0-rc.7 or later.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
Summary
The admin passkey reset endpoint lacked the role-level authorization check used by comparable privileged account-protection endpoints. A lower-privileged administrator could attempt passkey reset operations against same-level or higher-privileged users, including root-level accounts.
Impact
If the target account had a passkey configured, a lower-privileged administrator could remove that authentication factor and weaken the target account's protection boundary. The attacker still needed administrator privileges, so the issue is rated Medium.
Affected versions
The vulnerable admin passkey reset behavior was present from the passkey feature introduction in v0.9.1.3 through versions before v1.0.0-rc.7.
Patches
This issue is fixed in v1.0.0-rc.7. The fix adds a canManageTargetRole check to AdminResetPasskey before passkey lookup or deletion, preventing lower-privileged administrators from operating on same-level or higher-privileged users.
Workarounds
If upgrading immediately is not possible, restrict admin access to trusted operators only and block DELETE /api/user/:id/reset_passkey at the reverse proxy or gateway except for root operators.
