LobsterAI before 2026.10.16 contains a hardcoded password vulnerability that allows attackers to decrypt exported provider API keys encrypted with the constant 'lobsterai-APP'. Attackers who obtain a providers export file can derive the AES-GCM key via PBKDF2 using the embedded salt and recover every third-party AI provider API key.
