metadata.llm_override is read as a mapping without a type check. Only the top level of metadata is validated as dict[str, Any]. A request with "metadata": {"llm_override": "gpt-4o"} reaches both reads, and .get(...) on a string raises AttributeError, so the caller receives a 500 instead of a 4xx.

Confirmed — metadata: dict[str, Any] | None only validates the outer dict; llm_override's value is untyped, so {"metadata": {"llm_override": "gpt-4o"}} passes schema validation and .get("base_url")/.get("model") on the resulting str raises AttributeError → 500 via the generic handler.
One more site with the identical pattern worth covering in the same pass: VLLMClient._has_endpoint_override (vllm_client.py:345-346) does the same unguarded (kwargs.get("metadata") or {}).get("llm_override") or {} read, and it's invoked as the circuit-breaker's skip_if predicate — i.e. before _resolve_overrides ever runs — so a malformed llm_override would raise there first.

@Ahmath-Gadji, confirmed. The three reads are unguarded.
VLLMClient._has_endpoint_override runs through skip_if before generate() or chat() enter _resolve_overrides. Therefore, guarding only _resolve_overrides does not prevent the 500.
The fix should coerce a non-dict metadata.llm_override to {} in these locations:
_apply_default_max_tokensVLLMClient._resolve_overridesVLLMClient._has_endpoint_override
Add regression tests for metadata={"llm_override": "gpt-4o"}. The tests should confirm that routing does not raise AttributeError and that the configured endpoint remains in use.
✏️ Learnings added

Repo: linagora/openrag PR: 834
File: openrag/api/routers/user/chat.py:417-419
Timestamp: 2026-08-26T14:54:05.358Z
Learning: In the OpenAI chat and completion request schemas, `metadata` validates only the outer `dict[str, Any]`. The nested `metadata.llm_override` value can be non-dictionary data. Code in `openrag/api/routers/user/chat.py` and `openrag/services/inference/vllm_client.py` must validate or coerce `llm_override` before calling dictionary methods. `VLLMClient._has_endpoint_override` runs as the circuit-breaker `skip_if` predicate before `VLLMClient._resolve_overrides`, so it requires an independent guard.
Note: Learnings are effective only in the context of similar code segments. To apply general coding guidelines, please configure review instructions. You can manage existing learnings in the app.

Route urlsplit parse failures into the 400 rejection path.
_resolve_endpoint_override calls urlsplit(candidate) before chat and generate enter their HTTP exception handlers. For malformed input such as https://[::1/v1, urlsplit raises ValueError instead of returning LLM_OVERRIDE_REJECTED with status 400. Catch ValueError and raise that InferenceError.

_resolve_endpoint_override to catch ValueError raised by urlsplit(candidate) and
convert it into the existing InferenceError rejection path with code
LLM_OVERRIDE_REJECTED and status_code 400, preserving the current HTTPS-only
validation for successfully parsed URLs.

Confirmed independently — urlsplit("https://[::1/v1") raises ValueError: Invalid IPv6 URL directly (not just on .port access), and nothing between the _resolve_overrides()/_resolve_endpoint_override() call at the top of chat/generate and their httpx-specific try/except blocks catches it. openrag/api/error_handlers.py only maps OpenRAGError subclasses to their own status code; anything else falls through to unhandled_exception_handler, which hardcodes 500. So this does escape the documented non-retryable 400 LLM_OVERRIDE_REJECTED contract as described.

@Ahmath-Gadji, agreed. This confirms the malformed URL bypasses the intended LLM_OVERRIDE_REJECTED response path and produces an HTTP 500.
The fix should catch ValueError from urlsplit(candidate) and raise InferenceError with code="LLM_OVERRIDE_REJECTED" and status_code=400. The thread remains open until that change is applied and validated.

The .. path-traversal check operates on the raw (non-percent-decoded) path, so percent-encoded dot-segments bypass it entirely.
urlsplit() never decodes %XX sequences, so if ".." in parts.path.split("/") only catches a literal, unencoded .. segment. A base_url such as:
https://milvus:19530/v2/vectordb/collections/%2e%2e/%2e%2e/v2/vectordb/collections/list
produces parts.path.split("/") containing %2e%2e segments, never the string ".." — so this sails through validation untouched. httpx does not collapse or decode it client-side either — I checked req.url.raw_path, and the encoded octets go out on the wire exactly as supplied: .../collections/%2e%2e/%2e%2e/v2/vectordb/collections/list/chat/completions.
Whether this actually reaches a different endpoint depends on the target, but it's plausible: any server whose HTTP stack percent-decodes the path before routing/cleaning it (e.g. Go's net/url populates URL.Path by decoding first, and most mux/router implementations clean that) will resolve this down to .../collections/../../v2/vectordb/collections/list/chat/completions — landing on Milvus's own REST listing endpoint rather than /chat/completions. That's exactly the internal-path-read primitive test_client_controlled_path_is_rejected_without_retry (using the literal .. form) is meant to close, just reached through the one encoding the check doesn't account for. Since the design deliberately leaves the host unrestricted and relies on path-pinning as the remaining defense against turning a trusted caller into a general internal SSRF/read tool, an encoding-level bypass of that specific defense seems worth closing — e.g. reject based on urllib.parse.unquote(parts.path) instead of the raw path, or reject any % in the path outside a documented allowlist.

Problem
Before the services refactor, metadata.llm_override honored base_url and api_key alongside model. VLLMClient._resolve_overrides dropped that — honoring a client endpoint is SSRF, and the server's key would have been shipped to it.
Now, the API fails silently and misleadingly: model is still applied while base_url is dropped, so the request goes to the server's endpoint carrying a third party's model name. The operator sees an unrelated-looking error from the wrong provider:
LLM streaming error (400): Invalid model name passed in model=gpt-5.1.
Change
Opt-in LLM_OVERRIDE_ALLOW_CUSTOM_ENDPOINT. Unset — the default — keeps today's behaviour, now with a warning log naming the dropped endpoint instead of leaving the misleading 400 unexplained.
When on, base_url/api_key are honored, and the request shape is pinned:
The host stays unrestricted, deliberately: deployments migrating off pre-refactor clients can't enumerate endpoints in advance. What remains reachable is essentially other https LLM gateways. It grants no read access a caller doesn't already have (/search returns the same partition content); what changes is that data leaves via the server's egress, which matters against a DLP or approved-subprocessor constraint.
