CVE-2025-59953
CriticalCVSS 9.8Summary
LMDeploy implements an RPC server (AsyncRPCServer in zmq_rpc.py) whose call_and_response() function deserializes received messages using pickles.loads() without any sanitization. This allows remote code execution through the RPC server. The vulnerability exists from version 0.9.1 up to 0.10.2, where it is patched.
Risk Assessment
An attacker with network access to the LMDeploy RPC server can execute arbitrary code in the server process context, leading to full system compromise. The risk is high because no authentication or user interaction is required.
Recommendation
Upgrade LMDeploy to version 0.10.2 or later. Until patched, restrict network access to the LMDeploy RPC port to trusted clients only.
Other vulnerabilities in LMDeploy
See all- CVE-2026-76850Critical
LMDeploy deserializes disaggregated-serving peer messages with pickle. The handle_zmq_recv coroutine in lmdeploy/pytorch/disagg/conn/engine_conn.py reads peer-to-peer cache-free requests with recv_pyobj(), which deserializes the received bytes with pickle.loads(), and the isinstance check against DistServeCacheFreeRequest runs only after deserialization has already completed. The peer that supplies those bytes is caller-controlled: p2p_connect passes remote_engine_endpoint_info.zmq_address from the request body to connect() on the ZMQ PULL socket, and the POST /distserve/p2p_initialize and /distserve/p2p_connect endpoints in lmdeploy/serve/openai/api_server.py apply no authentication unless the server is started with api_keys, which defaults to None. A remote attacker can direct an engine to pull from a ZMQ endpoint under their control and execute arbitrary code in the engine process. Deployments that do not enable disaggregated serving are not affected, because the receive loop is only started once the migration backend accepts the connection.
- CVE-2026-63764High
SSRF vulnerability in LMDeploy up to version 0.14.0 (fixed in commit 03c3130) in the _load_http_url function in connection.py. The private-IP guard only validates the original URL without re-validating hosts after HTTP redirects.
- CVE-2026-46517High
LMDeploy is a toolkit for compressing, deploying, and serving large language models. In versions 0.12.3 and prior, hardcoded "trust_remote_code=True" enables HF supply-chain RCE without user opt-in. Version 0.13.0 patches the issue.
- CVE-2026-46432High
LMDeploy versions up to 0.12.3 have hardcoded "trust_remote_code=True" in multiple HuggingFace model-loading call sites, allowing arbitrary code execution. No public patches are available at the time of publication.
Original NVD description (English source)
LMDeploy is a toolkit for compressing, deploying, and serving large language models. Starting in version 0.9.1 and prior to version 0.10.2, the LMdeploy implements an rpc server (AsyncRPCServer in zmq_rpc.py) for supporting the RPC communications. In its core functionality call_and_response(), I found it will directly use the pickles.loads() to deserialize the received messages without any sanitization, hence resulting in a remote code execution vulnerability by this RPC server. Version 0.10.2 contains a patch.
