Summary
LocalAI from v4.6.0 through v4.11.0 contains a server-side request forgery flaw (CWE-918) in its gallery code. The code validates only the initial gallery config URL and does not check where HTTP redirects lead. An unauthenticated remote attacker can submit a config URL through POST /models/apply that redirects to internal or cloud metadata addresses and receives those responses as gallery content.
