Vulnerability details
The vulnerability allows a remote user to disclose sensitive information from internal-only destinations.
The vulnerability exists due to server-side request forgery in the AI chat file download handling in POST /ai/chat when processing user-supplied file URLs. A remote user can send a specially crafted chat request containing a file URL that resolves to an internal address to disclose sensitive information from internal-only destinations.
The fetched response body is forwarded to the configured LLM provider as file content and may surface in the model reply. Only instances with AI enabled and a configured LLM provider are vulnerable.
