CVE-2026-56259
Last modified
CVE-2026-56259 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.8/10 on the CVSS scale. Crawl4AI before 0.8.8 contains credential exfiltration vulnerabilities in the Docker API server that allow attackers to redirect LLM API calls to attacker-controlled endpoints and read arbitrary environment variables. Attackers can exploit the unauthenticated /md, /llm, and /llm/job endpoints by supplying a malicious base_url parameter and setting api_token to env:VARIABLE_NAME to exfiltrate provider API keys and server secrets including JWT SECRET_KEY for authentication bypass.. EPSS estimates a 0.27% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
