Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires the target PrivateGPT 1.0.0/1.0.1 deployment to expose the URI Artifact Loader so that the load_file_from_uri function in private_gpt/server/ingest/uri_loader.py is reachable; the attacker then manipulates the 'Value' (URI) argument to coerce server-side requests. Per CVSS, this is remote and unauthenticated (PR:N, UI:N) with low attack complexity. Limiting factors: the specific trigger mechanics beyond manipulating the URI argument are not described in the available sources, impact is bounded to Low confidentiality/integrity/availability (no scope change to subsequent systems), and realistic exposure depends on the URI ingestion feature being network-accessible to untrusted users rather than restricted to trusted operators.

Impact

This is a moderate-severity, real-but-not-urgent issue. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N) describes a remotely reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated flaw, but all three impact metrics are Low (VC:L/VI:L/VA:L), which caps the base score at 6.9 - consistent with SSRF where the attacker influences server-side requests rather than achieving direct code execution or full data compromise. The exploit-maturity flag E:P (proof-of-concept) aligns with the intelligence that a public PoC reference exists but is not verified as working exploit code, so this should not be treated as weaponized or actively exploited. There is no CISA KEV listing and no EPSS score was provided, so widespread automated exploitation cannot be confirmed from the data; the vuln.today decision label is 'this_month,' indicating prioritized but non-emergency remediation. A key gap: the vendor (Zylon) was contacted but did not respond, and no fixed version is listed in the available evidence, so remediation status is unverified. Net: a legitimate SSRF worth patching on a normal cycle, not a drop-everything emergency, with real risk gated by whether the URI Artifact Loader feature is exposed and by the limited (Low) technical impact.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

A remote, unauthenticated attacker interacts with a PrivateGPT instance that exposes the URI Artifact Loader, submitting a crafted URI as the 'Value' argument to load_file_from_uri so the server issues an attacker-controlled request. This can be abused to reach internal-only services or metadata endpoints the attacker could not otherwise contact. A public PoC reference exists (a GitHub issue) but is not verified as working exploit code.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 25, 2026

Server-side request forgery in Zylon PrivateGPT 1.0.0 and 1.0.1 lets remote unauthenticated attackers manipulate the URI argument handled by the URI Artifact Loader's load_file_from_uri function, causing the server to make attacker-influenced requests. The assessed impact is limited to low confidentiality, integrity, and availability effects with unchanged scope, and exposure depends on the URI ingestion feature being reachable by untrusted users. A public PoC reference exists but is not verified as working exploit code; no CISA KEV active exploitation is indicated in the provided data, and the priority label is this_month.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patched version is identified in the provided data; check the vendor advisory at https://github.com/zylon-ai/private-gpt/security/advisories/GHSA-8294-hj7x-42g2 for an update. Until a fix is listed, restrict the URI Artifact Loader and URI ingestion feature to trusted operators, or disable that feature where it is not required, and block server-side egress from PrivateGPT to internal, private-network, and cloud metadata endpoints. These controls reduce SSRF reachability but do not correct the underlying handling of the URI argument, so applying the vendor fix remains necessary once it is available.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The flaw is CWE-918 server-side request forgery in private_gpt/server/ingest/uri_loader.py. The URI Artifact Loader accepts a user-supplied URI as the Value argument and load_file_from_uri fetches it server-side; insufficient validation or allowlisting of destination schemes and hosts can let a crafted URI direct requests to services reachable from the PrivateGPT host. The provided CPE cpe:2.3:a:zylon:privategpt:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* covers the affected 1.0.0 and 1.0.1 releases. The supplied sources do not describe the exact trigger beyond manipulation of the URI argument. The supplied score is 6.9 on CVSS:4.0 with E:P, while the independent assessment uses CVSS:3.1 AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L, bounding impact to Low with no scope change.

DescriptionCVE.org

A security flaw has been discovered in Zylon PrivateGPT 1.0.0/1.0.1. This vulnerability affects the function load_file_from_uri of the file private_gpt/server/ingest/uri_loader.py of the component URI Artifact Loader. Performing a manipulation of the argument Value results in server-side request forgery. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The exploit has been released to the public and may be used for attacks. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.
