Published Sep 4, 2026
·
Updated

Onyx 4.6.6 fails to properly restrict access to custom tool credentials stored in customheaders, allowing any authenticated user to read admin-defined API keys. Attackers with basic authentication can call GET /tool/{toolid} or GET /tool endpoints to retrieve plaintext authorization headers and third-party API credentials, then use them to directly access upstream APIs.
