Password-hash disclosure via unfiltered User responses
Published Jun 20, 2024 · Updated Oct 15, 2025
Information exposure in Mintplex Labs AnythingLLM 1.5.3 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to obtain bcrypt password hashes. The request-token login and admin user-creation handlers serialized entire User objects into JSON responses without removing the password field. Multi-user mode and valid credentials are required; the disclosed bcrypt hash can support offline password guessing but does not reveal plaintext directly.
