Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: High: There is total loss of confidentiality, resulting in all resources within the impacted component being divulged to the attacker. Alternatively, access to only some restricted information is obtained, but the disclosed information presents a direct, serious impact.
Integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), GitHub proofs of concept, the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 30 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponized: A Metasploit exploit module or Exploit-DB entry exists (Metasploit scanner modules do not count), or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

What to do

Upgrade lmdeploy and internlm/lmdeploy to 0.12.3.

AI-suggested

Upgrade lmdeploy to version 0.12.3 or later, where this SSRF vulnerability is patched. Since the vendor advisory does not specify any other mitigation or temporary fixes, applying the official update is the recommended remediation. Patch status is not explicitly confirmed in the advisory fields but the description states version 0.12.3 fixes the issue.

Description

LMDeploy versions prior to 0.12.3 contain a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in the vision-language module. The vulnerability arises because the load_image() function fetches arbitrary URLs without validating whether the addresses are internal or private. This flaw allows attackers to potentially access internal network resources, including cloud metadata services. The issue is fixed in version 0.12.3.

Impact

Successful exploitation of this SSRF vulnerability can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive internal resources, including cloud metadata services, which may expose confidential information. The vulnerability impacts confidentiality but does not affect integrity or availability. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.

Summary

CVE-2026-33626 is a high-severity SSRF vulnerability (CWE-918) in InternLM's lmdeploy toolkit, specifically in versions before 0.12.3. The vulnerability exists in the load_image() function within lmdeploy/vl/utils.py, which does not validate URLs for internal or private IP addresses before fetching them. This lack of validation enables attackers to make the server perform unauthorized requests to internal resources, such as cloud metadata services or other sensitive internal network endpoints. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5, indicating a high impact on confidentiality with no required privileges or user interaction. The vulnerability was publicly disclosed on 2026-04-20, and the vendor has released version 0.12.3 to address the issue.

CWE-918Server-Side Request Forgery (opens in a new tab)
Base weaknessCWE Top 25 (2025): #22OWASP Top 10 A01:2025: Broken Access Control (opens in a new tab)
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.
Implementation · Operation
If there is a known list of applications, IP, hostname, and/or domains to which the product is allowed to communicate, then use allowlists to ensure that outgoing requests are restricted to these known entities. The allowlists could be in the application code or possibly enforced by firewalls or network segmentation.
Implementation · Operation
If the product is expected to be able to connect to arbitrary IP addresses or domains, consider using a denylist that includes private network addresses, internal domain names, etc. The denylist could be in the application code or possibly enforced by firewalls or network segmentation.
Implementation · Input Validation
Assume all input is malicious. Use an "accept known good" input validation strategy, i.e., use a list of acceptable inputs that strictly conform to specifications. Reject any input that does not strictly conform to specifications, or transform it into something that does.
