    PYSEC-2026-3997

    Vulnerability from pysec - Published: 2026-09-18 14:19 - Updated: 2026-09-29 08:46
    VLAI
    Details

    vLLM versions before 0.28.0 fail to validate the lower bound of token IDs in the /v1/embeddings and /pooling endpoints, allowing unauthenticated attackers to crash the engine by submitting negative token IDs. A single request with a negative token ID triggers a CUDA device-side assertion that poisons the GPU context, causing all subsequent requests to fail until the process restarts.
