Machine-written summary

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

Lemmy's lemmy_routes crate, versions before 0.19.16, is vulnerable to server-side request forgery through the unauthenticated GET /api/v4/image/{filename} endpoint. The file_type query parameter is inserted into the internal request to pict-rs without validation, so an attacker can inject a proxy parameter and make pict-rs fetch arbitrary URLs, potentially reaching cloud metadata services or internal services and returning the response to the attacker. Upgrade lemmy_routes to version 0.19.16 or later.
