Summary
The vulnerability in SGLang involves an expert-parallel backup subsystem that exposes a ZeroMQ PULL socket on a routable network interface without authentication or deserialization safeguards. This allows an attacker to provide a malicious pickle file, resulting in unauthenticated remote code execution when the feature is enabled and the service is reachable over the network.
Risk Assessment
The risk to the organization includes the possibility of an unauthenticated attacker gaining full control over the system, potentially leading to data theft, service disruption, or further propagation of the attack within the network.
Recommendation
It is recommended to immediately disable the expert-parallel backup subsystem if not required, and apply security patches from the vendor. Additionally, restrict network access to the ZeroMQ PULL socket using a firewall.
Other vulnerabilities in SGLang
See all- CVE-2026-112270Medium
SGLang through 0.5.22 with the Mooncake disaggregation backend contains an uncontrolled memory allocation vulnerability in handle_staging_rsp(). Unauthenticated network-adjacent attackers can exhaust Prefill memory by sending STAGING_RSP messages with huge chunk_idx values.
- CVE-2026-112266Medium
SGLang through 0.5.22 contains a denial of service vulnerability that allows API clients to abort other users' in-flight generation requests by supplying a short client-controlled rid. Attackers can submit streaming /generate requests with single hex character rids and disconnect, triggering prefix-matching abort logic that terminates all other clients' requests.
- CVE-2026-111392Medium
SGLang through 0.5.21 trusts caller-supplied mm_hashes values as the multimodal prefix-cache key, allowing remote attackers to poison cached KV entries across requests. Attackers can send a different image under a known or predicted hash via /generate to disclose another request's image content or corrupt victims' responses.
- CVE-2026-111391High
SGLang 0.5.10 through 0.5.22 contains a code injection vulnerability in _evaluate_filter() that allows remote attackers to execute Python code by escaping the eval() sandbox through re.search __globals__. Attackers can send a crafted filter expression to the unauthenticated /dumper/configure endpoint when DUMPER_SERVER_PORT is set, running code in the scheduler process on the next forward pass.
- CVE-2026-102634High
SGLang through 0.5.20 in prefill/decode disaggregation mode fails to validate duplicate bootstrap_room fields in /generate requests with Mooncake KV transfer backend. Unauthenticated attackers can send concurrent requests with identical bootstrap_room values to crash scheduler processes or hang other users' requests until transfer timeout.
- CVE-2026-93034Critical
SGLang contains an arbitrary code execution vulnerability caused by the ZMQ message decoder unconditionally deserializing PickleWrapper payloads via pickle.loads() in _maybe_unwrap_pickle without type allowlisting or authentication; this vulnerability persists via the msgpack path even when SGLANG_USE_PICKLE_IPC is disabled, and becomes remotely exploitable if data-parallel attention is enabled with a non-loopback --dist-init-addr setting.
- CVE-2026-93088Critical
SGLang's multimodal generation runtime is vulnerable to unauthenticated arbitrary code execution because the disaggregated-diffusion orchestrator's DiffusionServer binds an unauthenticated ZeroMQ ROUTER socket to a network interface and passes the final frame of received multipart messages directly to pickle.loads() before any validation occurs.
- CVE-2026-86793Critical
SGLang allows unauthenticated pickle deserialization through /update_weights_from_tensor when no auth keys are configured, and the SafeUnpickler policy can be bypassed because builtins.import and builtins.getattr are resolvable, enabling code execution via pickle REDUCE.
- CVE-2026-15976Critical
SGLang contains a remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability when loading model weights from a HuggingFace repository. In the /update_weights_from_disk endpoint, torch.load with weights_only=False allows pickle deserialization of .bin files.
- CVE-2026-15971Critical
SGLang contains a remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability in the optional dumper subsystem. When DUMPER_SERVER_PORT is set, a sandbox escape is possible, enabling code execution on inference requests.
Original NVD description (English source)
SGLang uses an expert-parallel backup subsystem that exposes a ZeroMQ PULL socket on a routable network interface that does not contain authentication or deserialization safeguards, allowing an attacker to provide a malicious pickle file that results in unauthenticated remote code execution when the feature is enabled and the service is reachable over the network.
