A vulnerability in haotian-liu/llava version 1.2.0 (LLaVA-1.6) allows for Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) through the /run/predict endpoint. An attacker can gain unauthorized access to internal networks or the AWS metadata endpoint by sending crafted requests that exploit insufficient validation of the path parameter. This flaw can lead to unauthorized network access, sensitive data exposure, and further exploitation within the network.
The web server receives a URL or similar request from an upstream component and retrieves the contents of this URL, but it does not sufficiently ensure that the request is being sent to the expected destination.
