Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Lemmy's lemmy_api_common crate, versions before 0.19.18, fails to apply its internal-address check to the og:image URL taken from a submitted post's linked page. An authenticated low-privileged user can submit a post linking to an attacker-controlled page whose og:image points to an internal image endpoint, causing the Lemmy server to fetch it and store a thumbnail that is served back to users. Upgrade to lemmy_api_common 0.19.18 or later.
