Description
New API is a large language mode (LLM) gateway and artificial intelligence (AI) asset management system. Prior to version 0.10.8-alpha.10, a SQL LIKE wildcard injection vulnerability in the /api/token/search endpoint allows authenticated users to cause denial of service through resource exhaustion by crafting malicious search patterns. The token search endpoint accepts user-supplied keyword and token parameters that are directly concatenated into SQL LIKE clauses without escaping wildcard characters (%, _). This allows attackers to inject patterns that trigger expensive database queries. Version 0.10.8-alpha.10 contains a patch.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for github.com/QuantumNous/new-api, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update github.com/QuantumNous/new-api to 0.10.8-alpha.10 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-25591 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like CVE-2026-25591 can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.
Tailored to CVE-2026-25591. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is CVE-2026-25591 in your dependencies?
O3 Security finds CVE-2026-25591 across Go dependencies, including transitive ones, and its impact-aware SCA ranks findings by whether your code actually calls the vulnerable path.
