SillyTavern 1.12.13 through 1.19.0 contains a denial of service vulnerability that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to exhaust resources because body-parser middleware runs before authentication and whitelist checks. Attackers can send large or compressed JSON or urlencoded bodies up to 500 MB, optionally in parallel, to exhaust memory and CPU and deny service.
SillyTavern is a locally installed user interface that allows users to interact with text generation large language models, image generation engines, and text-to-speech voice models. In versions prior to 1.16.0, a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in the asset download endpoint allows authenticated users to make arbitrary HTTP requests from the server and read the full response body, enabling access to internal services, cloud metadata, and private network resources. The vulnerability has been patched in the version 1.16.0 by introducing a whitelist domain check for asset download requests. It can be reviewed and customized by editing the whitelistImportDomains array in the config.yaml file.
