Affected: langchain-ai langchain

LangChain is a framework for building agents and LLM-powered applications. Prior to 1.2.11, the ChatOpenAI.get_num_tokens_from_messages() method fetches arbitrary image_url values without validation when computing token counts for vision-enabled models. This allows attackers to trigger Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) attacks by providing malicious image URLs in user input. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.2.11.

Affected: PyPI: langchain-core

## Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) in ChatOpenAI Image Token Counting

### Summary The `ChatOpenAI.get_num_tokens_from_messages()` method fetches arbitrary `image_url` values without validation when computing token counts for vision-enabled models. This allows attackers to trigger Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) attacks by providing malicious image URLs in user input.

### Severity **Low** - The vulnerability allows SSRF attacks but has limited impact due to: - Responses are not returned to the attacker (blind SSRF) - Default 5-second timeout limits resource exhaustion - Non-image responses fail at PIL image parsing

### Impact An attacker who can control image URLs passed to `get_num_tokens_from_messages()` can: - Trigger HTTP requests from the application server to arbitrary internal or external URLs - Cause the server to access internal network resources (private IPs, cloud metadata endpoints) - Cause minor resource consumption through image downloads (bounded by timeout)

**Note:** This vulnerability occurs during token counting, which may happen outside of model invocation (e.g., in logging, metrics, or token budgeting flows).

### Details The vulnerable code path: 1. `get_num_tokens_from_messages()` processes messages containing `image_url` content blocks 2. For images without `detail: "low"`, it calls `_url_to_size()` to fetch the image and compute token counts 3. `_url_to_size()` performs `httpx.get(image_source)` on any URL without validation 4.
