Summary

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.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can send unique HTTP methods, causing permanent memory growth and enlarged /metrics responses, potentially exhausting monitoring resources.

Recommendation

Upgrade vLLM to version 0.30.0 or later, which includes a fix for this issue.

Original NVD description (English source)

vLLM is an inference and serving engine for large language models. Prior to 0.30.0, the Rust frontend's track_http_metrics middleware records the raw HTTP method token as a Prometheus label for requests reaching registered routes. An unauthenticated attacker can send unique arbitrary method tokens to unguarded routes such as /tokenize, causing Prometheus's Family::get_or_create function to permanently create counter and histogram label sets. Those label sets increase process memory usage and enlarge the /metrics response until the service or monitoring path is exhausted. This issue is fixed in version 0.30.0.
