This source file has a known vulnerability sink in it. Traverse the codebase and report the vulnerability. You can report multiple vulnerabilities. Start from backend/open_webui/routers/tools.py and inspect the Tool Valves read route for GET /api/v1/tools/id/<tool_id>/valves. Trace how the request is authorized, what data is returned, and whether an admin-only valve can be read by a low-privileged authenticated user.

{
  "executiveSummary": "The GET /api/v1/tools/id/{tool_id}/valves endpoint in backend/open_webui/routers/tools.py allows any authenticated user with write access to a tool to read its admin-configured Tool Valve secrets (e.g., API keys). Tool Valves are intended to be admin-level configuration values that often store sensitive credentials such as API keys and tokens. The endpoint only requires `get_verified_user` authentication and checks for write access to the tool, but does not verify the requester is an admin. This means non-admin users who have been granted write access to a tool (or who are the tool creator) can read sensitive admin-configured valve values that should only be visible to administrators.",
  "reports": [
    {
      "title": "Unauthorized Disclosure of Admin Tool Valve Secrets to Non-Admin Users",
      "severity": "HIGH",
      "summary": "The GET /api/v1/tools/id/{tool_id}/valves endpoint returns admin-configured Tool Valve data (which commonly contains sensitive credentials like API keys) to any authenticated user who has write access to the tool, without verifying that the requester is an administrator.",
      "rootCauseAnalysis": "The `get_tools_valves_by_id` route handler at GET /id/{id}/valves uses `get_verified_user` (any authenticated user) instead of `get_admin_user` for authorization. Its access control check permits three categories: (1) the tool's creator, (2) any user with write access, or (3) admins. Tool Valves are admin-level configuration that store secrets (API keys, tokens), but the endpoint does not enforce admin-only access for reading these secrets. Any non-admin user with write access to a tool can read its full Valve data.",
      "impact": "Low-privilege authenticated users with write access to a tool can exfiltrate admin-configured secrets stored in Tool Valves, such as third-party API keys, authentication tokens, and other sensitive credentials. This could lead to unauthorized access to external services, data breaches, and privilege escalation.",
      "attackPath": "1. An admin creates a tool with a Valves class containing sensitive fields (e.g., API keys) and configures the Valve values via the admin panel.\n2. A non-admin user is granted write access to the tool (e.g., via access grants or by being the tool creator).\n3. The non-admin user sends GET /api/v1/tools/id/{tool_id}/valves with their authentication token.\n4. The endpoint's access check passes because the user has write access.\n5. The full Valve dictionary (including API keys and secrets) is returned in the response.",
      "stepsToReproduce": [
        "1. Log in as an admin user and create a tool with a Valves class that includes secret fields (e.g., `api_key: str = Field(default='')`)",
        "2. Configure the tool's Valve values via the admin panel (e.g., set an API key)",
        "3. Grant write access to a non-admin user for this tool (via access grants)",
        "4. Log in as the non-admin user",
