Summary
In vLLM before 0.28.0, the default mirrored multimodal LRU cache can commit a media hash in the frontend sender cache during rendering and before engine admission, while the receiver cache never receives the payload if the request is rejected, causing an assertion error on later reuse.
Risk Assessment
An attacker can exploit this to cause an assertion error and disrupt the shared service, leading to denial of service.
Recommendation
Upgrade vLLM to version 0.28.0 or later, which includes a fix.
Other vulnerabilities in vLLM
See all- CVE-2026-109311Medium
vLLM before 0.29.0 passes uploaded audio to the PyAV/FFmpeg av.open() fallback with only a file-size check, exposing FFmpeg's IAMF parser heap overflow. Authenticated remote attackers can repeatedly upload malformed IAMF containers to /v1/audio/transcriptions, corrupting the heap and crashing the API process.
- CVE-2026-48746Critical
Vulnerability in vLLM versions 0.3.0 to 0.22.0 allows bypass of OpenAI API AuthenticationMiddleware. An attacker can use the API without providing the configured VLLM_API_KEY or --api-key.
- CVE-2026-22778Critical
A vulnerability in vLLM from version 0.8.3 to 0.14.0 leaks a heap address when an invalid image is sent to the multimodal endpoint. This leak reduces ASLR effectiveness from 4 billion to about 8 guesses, facilitating further attacks.
- CVE-2026-105922Medium
A security flaw has been discovered in vllm-project vLLM up to 0.31.0, affecting the function get_token_bin_counts_and_mask in the file vllm/model_executor/layers/utils.py of the Penalty Handler component. Manipulation results in denial of service. Remote exploitation is possible, and the exploit has been publicly released.
- CVE-2026-105775Medium
A security vulnerability in vllm-project vLLM up to 0.31.0 causes an out-of-bounds read in the function conv_ssm_forward in the file mamba_mixer2.py, within the Completions Request Handler component. The attack can be carried out remotely, and the exploit has been publicly disclosed.
- CVE-2026-105760Medium
In vLLM before 0.30.0, a caller can use the media_io_kwargs field to select the GLMGA video backend and supply large fps and max_frames values without a strict work ceiling, causing disproportionate CPU and memory consumption.
- CVE-2026-105759Medium
In vLLM before 0.30.0, the Rust frontend's track_http_metrics middleware records the raw HTTP method token as a Prometheus label, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to send unique arbitrary method tokens and cause permanent creation of label sets, increasing memory usage.
- CVE-2026-105758Medium
In vLLM from 0.24.0 to 0.30.0, the Qwen2VLVideoBackend and Qwen3VLVideoBackend classes accept request-level values for max_frames and fps without server-side ceilings, allowing an unauthenticated caller to decode every frame from attacker-controlled video and consume disproportionate memory.
- CVE-2026-105757Medium
In vLLM before 0.30.0, structured-output request failures can escape validation and reach the EngineCore fatal-error path, allowing ordinary constrained-generation requests to terminate the shared engine.
- CVE-2026-105756Medium
In vLLM before 0.30.0, OpenAI-compatible request models accept a non-empty cache_salt value without enforcing character and length restrictions, which can raise an uncaught ValueError during scheduler cache lookup, causing EngineCore to terminate.
Original NVD description (English source)
vLLM is an inference and serving engine for large language models. Prior to 0.28.0, the default mirrored multimodal LRU cache can commit a media hash in the frontend sender cache during multimodal rendering and before engine admission, while the engine receiver cache never receives the payload if that request is rejected. A later request reusing the same media hash causes MultiModalProcessorSenderCache to send no payload and MultiModalReceiverCache to reach an assertion with the message "Expected a cached item," producing a shared-service availability failure. This issue is fixed in version 0.28.0.
