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.

🛡️ Workaround

Workaround: 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.

🔍 Detection

Search webserver/proxy logs for unusual DELETE /api/user/ requests with malformed payloads or SQL meta-characters. Run grep -r 'github.com/QuantumNous/new-api' . against your dependency files (package-lock.json, requirements.txt, go.sum) to find affected services.

Response actions

Concrete steps and command examples for SOC/SRE teams to execute in order

  1. 1
    Identify exposure identify
    grep -r 'github.com/QuantumNous/new-api' . | grep -v node_modules

    リポジトリと本番環境の依存ファイル (package-lock.json / requirements.txt / go.sum / Gemfile.lock 等) で github.com/QuantumNous/new-api を grep し、稼働しているサービス・バージョンを把握する。

  2. 2
    Hunt for indicators of compromise detect
    grep 'DELETE /api/user/' /var/log/nginx/access.log | grep -E '(unusual_payload|sqli_pattern)'

    アクセスログで DELETE /api/user/ への異常なリクエスト (不正な認証ヘッダ・SQLメタ文字)を過去 30〜90日分捜索。WAF/SIEM があれば該当パスのアラート発火履歴を確認。

  3. 3
    Apply temporary workaround mitigate
    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.

    パッチが適用されるまでの応急処置として、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. を実施。回避策の副作用 (機能低下) を確認した上で。

  4. 4
    Apply patch patch
    Upgrade github.com/QuantumNous/new-api to 1.0.0-rc.7

    ステージング環境で 1.0.0-rc.7 に上げて回帰テスト → 本番反映。回帰テストはアプリの主要ハッピーパスと、Step 2 で見つけた異常検知の続報チェックを含めること。

  5. 5
    Post-deployment verification verify
    Replay attack against DELETE /api/user/ on staging to confirm patch closes the vector

    パッチ適用後、ステージングで PoC または同等の悪用パターンを再現して脆弱性が閉じたことを確認。本番では Step 2 と同じログクエリでアラート再発が無いか継続監視。
