Summary

LiteLLM from 1.65.5 before 1.85.0 is affected. The /sso/debug/callback endpoint inserts identity provider fields into an inline script block using JSON encoding, which does not escape HTML characters (CWE-79). The route needs no authentication, so an attacker with an account on the configured identity provider can send a crafted callback URL to a logged-in admin, whose browser then runs attacker JavaScript. The script can read the dashboard session cookie and take over the admin account.

Description from the GitHub advisory

### Summary The `/sso/debug/callback` endpoint reflected identity-provider-controlled fields into an inline `<script>` block via `json.dumps`, which escapes JSON string syntax but not HTML context characters such as `</script>`. An IdP-returned string field containing `</script>` (for example a user-editable display name) closed the script block and executed attacker JavaScript in the proxy's origin. ### Impact Reflected XSS on the LiteLLM proxy origin. The route required no authentication, so an attacker with an account on the configured IdP whose claims pass such strings through verbatim could complete the SSO flow themselves and deliver the resulting callback URL to a logged-in proxy admin. Scripts executing in the proxy origin can read the dashboard session cookie and act with the victim's privileges, up to full admin account takeover.
