CVE-2026-24779: vLLM server-side request forgery in MediaConnector via URL host bypass

Summary

CVE-2026-24779 affects vLLM versions prior to 0.14.1. The `MediaConnector` class in its multimodal feature set has an SSRF flaw in the `load_from_url` and `load_from_url_async` methods, where two Python parsing libraries interpret backslashes differently, letting an attacker bypass the host name restriction. A successful attacker can make the vLLM server send arbitrary requests to internal network resources, which is especially serious in containerized deployments such as `llm-d`.

Mitigation

Fixed in 0.14.1 (the source states version 0.14.1 contains a patch for the issue).
