Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-918: Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF), where the web server receives a url or similar request from an upstream component and retrieves the contents of this url, but it does not sufficiently ensure that the request is being sent to the expected destination. In Github.com/mudler/LocalAI, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

LocalAI contains an unauthenticated server-side request forgery vulnerability in the POST /models/apply endpoint that allows attackers to fetch arbitrary internal URLs. The endpoint passes unsanitized gallery URL fields directly to gallery.GetGalleryConfigFromURLWithContext without proper validation, enabling attackers to force the server to issue HTTP GET requests to private and loopback ranges with partial response content leaked through error messages.
