Summary
The sgl-project sglang versions from 0.5.0 up to 0.5.21 are affected. Manipulating the api_key argument of the server_info function in the HTTP endpoint causes sensitive information to be sent in cleartext (CWE-319). A remote attacker without privileges can trigger this, although the attack is highly complex. A public exploit has been disclosed and may be used.
