CVE-2026-86539
knowns through 0.33.0 contains a server-side request forgery vulnerability in the POST /api/embedding-models/test endpoint that issues outbound requests to caller-supplied destinations without validation.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.21%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
