lmdeploy's OpenAI API Server Exposed to SSRF via Redirects

lmdeploy's OpenAI-compatible API server is affected by an SSRF flaw (CVE-2026-63764, CVSS 9.3) that lets unauthenticated attackers reach internal services and cloud metadata endpoints. The issue stems from following HTTP 302 redirects without re-checking each hop against the URL safety guard and was added to the NVD on July 21, 2026.

NVD records CVE-2026-63764, an SSRF flaw in lmdeploy's OpenAI API server. Unauthenticated attackers send POST requests with crafted image_url values that redirect to internal services and metadata endpoints. The server follows redirects without further validation. The vulnerability receives a 9.3 CVSS 3.1 critical score.

NVD has added a newly published record describing a server-side request forgery issue in the lmdeploy project.
The vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to access internal services.
The vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to access internal services. According to the entry, the OpenAI-compatible API server in lmdeploy can be abused by unauthenticated parties who leverage a crafted image_url parameter to reach internal services and cloud metadata endpoints. The reported CVSS 3.1 base score assigned by VulnCheck stands at 9.3 critical.

Attackers exploit the flaw through crafted POST requests. A malicious actor reportedly sends a POST to the chat completions endpoint using an image_url that first targets an attacker-controlled server. That server returns an HTTP 302 redirect aimed at loopback addresses or instance-metadata services. The bypass occurs because the implementation follows redirects but skips any further safety validation on subsequent hops.
