Detailed vulnerability description
The vulnerability allows a remote user to bypass authorization checks.
The vulnerability exists due to missing authorization in the OpenAI-compatible HTTP model overrides feature when handling reachable override requests from a lower-trust caller or configured input path. A remote user can send a crafted request through the affected path to bypass authorization checks.
Only configurations where the affected feature is enabled and reachable are vulnerable, and practical impact depends on whether lower-trust input can reach that path.
