New API: Integer overflow in quota billing yields negative charges (self-crediting)
CVE-2026-71479GHSA-8r8v-xf7q-rcpr
What to do
Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (github.com/QuantumNous/new-api 1.0.0-rc.18), redeploy, then verify what is actually installed.
This page has no inventory attached, so it cannot say whether you are affected. A vendor fix is not proof that your deployment is fixed.

Source description
As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.
Summary Multiple billing paths multiplied user-controlled quantity parameters into the quota calculation without an upper bound or overflow-safe integer conversion. A crafted extreme value (e.g. image n = 18446744073686646784, a wrapped-negative accepted by a uint field) makes conversions like int(float64(quota) n) wrap past the int64/int32 range into a large negative quota. The negative quota takes effect at settlement (not at pre-consume), where it is equivalent to crediting the user's balance — turning a small positive balance into an enormous one. Timeline(UTC+8) This vulnerability was confirmed exploited in the wild. Response timeline (UTC+8): - 2026-07-06 23:00 — Community user @lihui12388 reported that their deployment had been exploited via this vulnerability (large negative consumption entries in logs and abnormally inflated balances). We confirmed in-the-wild exploitation and started an emergency response immediately. - 2026-07-07 01:17 — Emergency fix released as…

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2026-71479 Advisory: New API: Integer overflow in quota billing yields negative charges (self-crediting) IDs: CVE-2026-71479, GHSA-8r8v-xf7q-rcpr Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2026-71479 (revision 3, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 15:28 UTC) Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected. Severity: Critical (CVSS 9.1) Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV. Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: github.com/QuantumNous/new-api 1.0.0-rc.18. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed. ## Affected components - Go github.com/QuantumNous/new-api: affected <= 1.0.0-rc.17; fixed in 1.0.0-rc.18 ## Suggested inspection (read-only) - Go github.com/QuantumNous/new-api: check the installed version with your package manager. ## Supported action Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version. ## Required regression checks - Run the test suite and a production build. - Exercise the features that depend on github.com/QuantumNous/new-api. - Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed. ## Rollback considerations - Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward. ## Unresolved questions - Which deployments run an affected version? - Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority. - Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production. ## Sources - Verified: https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-8r8v-xf7q-rcpr (OSV record GHSA-8r8v-xf7q-rcpr lists affected ranges: Go github.com/QuantumNous/new-api >=0 <1.0.0-rc.18 (fixed)) - Verified: https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GO-2026-6242 (OSV record GO-2026-6242 lists affected ranges: Go github.com/QuantumNous/new-api >=0 <1.0.0-rc.18 (fixed)) - Verified: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-8r8v-xf7q-rcpr (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-8r8v-xf7q-rcpr lists affected ranges: Go github.com/QuantumNous/new-api >=0 <=1.0.0-rc.17) Commands are suggestions: review each one before running it.
