NextChat versions from 2.15.8 through 2.16.1 contain an improper URL validation vulnerability in the proxy endpoint that allows attackers to obtain the server's OpenAI API key. The x-base-url header is validated using substring matching instead of hostname parsing, allowing any URL containing 'api.openai.com' to pass validation and receive the server's credentials in the Authorization header.
