AnythingLLM Manager Privilege Bypass Allows Access to Admin-Only System Preferences

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, The two generic system-preferences endpoints allow manager role access, while every other surface that touches the same settings is restricted to admin only. Because of this inconsistency, a manager can call the generic endpoints directly to read plaintext SQL database credentials and overwrite admin-only global settings such as the default system prompt and the Community Hub API key.
