Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 security vulnerability.
1) Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-25960)
The vulnerability allows a remote user to perform server-side request forgery.
The vulnerability exists due to inconsistent URL parsing behavior in the load_from_url_async function in vllm/connections.py when validating and requesting user-supplied URLs. A remote user can supply a specially crafted URL to perform server-side request forgery.
The issue arises because the validation layer uses urllib3.util.parse_url() while the actual HTTP client uses aiohttp with yarl, allowing a backslash and @ character sequence to bypass the hostname allowlist check and access arbitrary internal or external services.
