This vulnerability exists in vibrantlabsai RAGAS (<=0.4.3) in the Collections Module's _try_process_local_file and _try_process_url functions. By manipulating the retrieved_contexts argument, an attacker can cause the application to perform server-side request forgery (SSRF). This allows the attacker to make arbitrary requests from the server, potentially accessing internal resources or services. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable and publicly disclosed with available exploit code. No official patch or remediation guidance has been provided by the vendor, and the previously released patch for CVE-2025-45691 does not address this issue.

Successful exploitation of this SSRF vulnerability can allow an attacker to make unauthorized requests from the vulnerable server, potentially accessing internal or protected resources. The CVSS score of 5.3 reflects a medium severity impact. There is no indication of privilege escalation or direct data compromise from the provided information. The exploit is publicly available, increasing the risk of attacks, but no known exploitation in the wild has been reported.

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Since the vendor has not responded and no official patch is available, users should consider implementing network-level controls to restrict outbound requests from the affected application and monitor for unusual request patterns. Avoid exposing the vulnerable functions to untrusted input until a fix is released.
