CVE-2026-103243: LightLLM server-side request forgery in multimodal endpoints

CVE-2026-103243 · Severity: medium · CVSS 5.8 · Published 2026-09-30

LightLLM is a Python-based framework for serving large language models, including multimodal models that process images and audio. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit the image_url and audio_url parameters in the inference API to make the server fetch arbitrary internal resources, potentially reading sensitive data from internal networks or probing the internal network topology through error messages.

Technologies: ModelTC LightLLM. Vendors: ModelTC.

Technical details

LightLLM fails to validate or filter image_url and audio_url parameters in multimodal endpoints, allowing unauthenticated server-side request forgery. The fetch_resource() function in multimodal_utils.py accepts arbitrary URLs without scheme allowlisting, private address filtering, or origin validation; fetched content is passed to vision models for processing, and HTTP errors are returned to the client with details that enable port/path probing. Attackers can read internal image resources via model output or enumerate internal services through distinct error messages for 404 responses, closed ports, and non-image responses.
