Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
CVE-2026-6587 is a high-severity SSRF flaw in vibrantlabsai RAGAS Collections. If exposed to untrusted inputs, affected systems may be tricked into making server-side requests, including to internal resources. Public exploit material is reported, but the provided sources do not show confirmed active exploitation.
Executive priority
Treat as high priority where RAGAS is reachable through user-controlled AI evaluation inputs. The risk is lower for isolated, internal-only use, but public exploit availability raises urgency.
Technical view
The flaw affects _try_process_local_file/_try_process_url in src/ragas/metrics/collections/multi_modal_faithfulness/util.py. Manipulating retrieved_contexts can trigger server-side request forgery. Affected versions listed are RAGAS 0.4.0 through 0.4.3. CVSS 3.1 is 8.1 with network attack vector, no privileges, no user interaction, and changed scope.
Likely exposure
Exposure is most likely where RAGAS 0.4.0-0.4.3 processes untrusted retrieved_contexts, especially in networked evaluation or AI application pipelines with outbound access to internal services.
Exploitation context
The source bundle reports public exploit availability, but KEV is false and no cited source confirms active exploitation. Vendor response and a fixed version are not established in the provided evidence.
Researcher notes
Evidence indicates a bypass or incomplete prior fix: CVE-2025-45691 was reportedly patched in a different module only. Validate behavior defensively without reproducing public exploit chains, and track vendor guidance closely.
Mitigation direction
- Inventory RAGAS usage and identify versions 0.4.0 through 0.4.3.
- Check vendor, package repository, and Red Hat guidance for an official fix.
- Restrict untrusted access to affected Collections Module workflows.
- Limit server outbound access to internal networks and metadata services.
- Disable or isolate vulnerable processing paths until guidance is available.
Validation and detection
- Confirm whether deployed code imports the affected multi_modal_faithfulness util.py module.
- Review application paths that pass user-controlled retrieved_contexts into RAGAS.
- Check dependency manifests and runtime images for RAGAS 0.4.0-0.4.3.
- Review outbound request logs for unusual internal or metadata service access.
