LightRAG: Missing Authentication for Critical API Functions in Default Configuration

Assigner: GitHub_M
Reserved: 10.07.2026 Published: 07.08.2026 Updated: 07.08.2026

LightRAG provides simple and fast retrieval-augmented generation. Through version 1.5.4, the LightRAG API server binds to all network interfaces with authentication disabled by default, allowing an unauthenticated network attacker to read indexed document content, upload or delete documents, modify the knowledge graph, cancel pipelines, clear caches, and consume LLM resources. This issue is mitigated in version 1.5.5rc1.
