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.
