Local Deep Research is an AI-powered research assistant for deep, iterative research. Prior to 1.6.0, PDFService.markdowntohtml() constructs an HTML document by interpolating user-controlled values — specifically title (sourced from research.title or research.query) and metadata key-value pairs — directly into an f-string without any HTML escaping. An authenticated attacker can craft a research query containing HTML special characters to inject arbitrary HTML tags into the document processed by WeasyPrint during PDF export. This injection can be chained to trigger a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF), bypassing the application's existing SSRF defenses in ssrfvalidator.py. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.6.0.
