AnythingLLM access control bypass: suspended users can continue using Browser Extension API keys

Type: advisorySources: OSV

AnythingLLM is an application that turns pieces of content into context that any LLM can use as references during chatting. In 1.11.1 and earlier, in multi-user mode, AnythingLLM blocks suspended users on the normal JWT-backed session path, but it does not block them on the browser extension API key path. If a user already has a valid brx-... browser extension API key, that key continues to work after suspension. As a result, a suspended user can still access browser extension endpoints, read reachable workspace metadata, and continue upload or embed operations even though normal authenticated requests are rejected.
