Readycheck to confirm it

AnythingLLM is an application that turns pieces of content into context that any LLM can use as references during chatting. If AnythingLLM prior to version 1.10.0 is configured to use Qdrant as the vector database with an API key, this QdrantApiKey could be exposed in plain text to unauthenticated users via the `/api/setup-complete` endpoint. Leakage of QdrantApiKey allows an unauthenticated attacker full read/write access to the Qdrant vector database instance used by AnythingLLM. Since Qdrant often stores the core knowledge base for RAG in AnythingLLM, this can lead to complete compromise of the semantic search / retrieval functionality and indirect leakage of confidential uploaded documents. Version 1.10.0 patches the issue.

Impact

Unauthenticated attackers can read and write to the Qdrant database, compromising semantic search and leaking confidential documents.

Fix

Update to version 1.10.0 or later.

How to confirm it

Send: GET {{BaseURL}}/api/setup-complete
Positive when: contains "\"QdrantApiKey\":" AND contains in content_type "application/json" AND status 200
