Summary
OpenLIT 2.1.0 contains an authorization bypass that lets authenticated users read other projects' telemetry. The flaw (CWE-639) trusts a project id supplied in a request header, so a forged x-openlit-project-id header selects another project. An attacker with a low-privilege account who knows a victim project id and database config id can query the trace read API to obtain traces, including LLM prompts and completions.
