What is CVE-2025-6242?

A Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability exists in the MediaConnector class of the vLLM project. Specifically, the methods load_from_url and load_from_url_async allow media to be fetched from user-provided URLs, but they lack proper restrictions on the target hosts. This flaw can enable attackers to manipulate the vLLM server into making unauthorized requests to internal network resources, potentially exposing sensitive data or allowing further attacks on the network.
