New API has passkey-based secure step-up verification bypass for root-only channel secret disclosure in github.com/QuantumNous/new-api

Open Source Vulnerabilities CVE-2026-32879

New API is a large language mode (LLM) gateway and artificial intelligence (AI) asset management system. Starting in version 0.10.0, a logic flaw in the universal secure verification flow allows an authenticated user with a registered passkey to satisfy secure verification without completing a WebAuthn assertion. As of time of publication, no known patched versions are available. Until a patched release is applied, do not rely on passkey as the step-up method for privileged secure-verification actions; require TOTP/2FA for those actions where operationally possible; or temporarily restrict access to affected secure-verification-protected endpoints.

## Summary A logic flaw in the universal secure verification flow allows an authenticated user with a registered passkey to satisfy secure verification without completing a WebAuthn assertion. ## Affected versions >= v0.10.0 ## Description The `POST /api/verify` endpoint supports multiple secure verification methods, including passkeys. When the request body contains `{"method":"passkey"}`, the server only checks whether the authenticated account has a passkey record on file and then marks the secure verification session as complete. It does not verify that the requester successfully completed a WebAuthn assertion. As a result, an authenticated user who already has a valid session and a registered passkey can satisfy the secure verification requirement without performing the intended passkey challenge/response flow. ## Impact In the upstream project, this issue affects actions protected by `SecureVerificationRequired()`. At the time of publication, the confirmed upstream impact is the root-only `POST /api/channel/:id/key` endpoint, which returns stored channel secrets. Successful exploitation requires: - an already authenticated session for the target account, and - a registered passkey on that account. No full login bypass or cross-account privilege escalation has been confirmed in the upstream codebase. However, the issue defeats the intended step-up verification control for affected privileged actions. ## Workarounds Until a patched release is applied: - do not rely on passkey as the step-up method for privileged secure-verification actions; - require TOTP/2FA for those actions where operationally possible; or - temporarily restrict access to affected secure-verification-protected endpoints.
