Summary
LMCache through 0.5.5 has a server-side request forgery flaw in its frontend monitoring service because it lacks authentication (CWE-306). An unauthenticated remote attacker can register arbitrary hosts in the proxy allowlist and then use the proxy to reach internal hosts, read their responses, and tamper with nodes or stop the heartbeat. The attack needs no privileges or user interaction and has low confidentiality and integrity impact.
