CVE-2026-41488: angchain-openai: Image token counting SSRF protection can be bypassed via DNS rebinding

Description

LangChain is a framework for building agents and LLM-powered applications. Prior to 1.1.14, langchain-openai's _url_to_size() helper (used by get_num_tokens_from_messages for image token counting) validated URLs for SSRF protection and then fetched them in a separate network operation with independent DNS resolution. This left a TOCTOU / DNS rebinding window: an attacker-controlled hostname could resolve to a public IP during validation and then to a private/localhost IP during the actual fetch.

Affected products

How to fix

Upgrade to a fixed version: langchain-ai langchain-openai 1.1.14. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
