LMDeploy through 0.14.0, fixed in commit 03c3130, contains a server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in the _load_http_url function within the connection.py media handler, where the private-IP guard validates only the original URL without re-validating hosts after HTTP redirects. An unauthenticated attacker can submit a crafted image_url to the chat completions endpoint pointing to an attacker-controlled host that returns a redirect to a private IP or cloud-metadata endpoint, causing the server to follow the redirect and expose internal service content through the model pipeline.

lmdeploy's OpenAI-compatible API server contains a server-side request forgery vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to access internal services and cloud metadata endpoints by supplying a crafted image_url that redirects to internal targets. Attackers can send a POST request to the chat completions endpoint with an image_url pointing to an attacker-controlled server that responds with an HTTP 302 redirect to internal addresses such as loopback or instance-metadata endpoints, bypassing the initial URL safety check because redirects are followed without re-validating each hop through the safety guard.
