LangChain SSRF protection bypasses in langchain-text-splitters and langchain-openai

Two vulnerabilities in LangChain packages allowed SSRF protections to be bypassed: HTMLHeaderTextSplitter.split_text_from_url() followed unvalidated redirects (CVE-2026-41481), and langchain-openai's _url_to_size() helper was subject to a TOCTOU/DNS rebinding window (CVE-2026-41488), potentially allowing requests to internal, localhost or cloud metadata endpoints and leaking internal data to callers.

Impact

Attacker-supplied URLs could reach internal, localhost or cloud metadata endpoints; depending on the application, content from those internal endpoints could be returned to the requester as Document objects, enabling data exfiltration.
