CVE-2026-55514 vLLM denial of service via prompt embeds on M-RoPE models

vLLM is a library for LLM inference and serving. From 0.12.0 to before 0.24.0, sending a pure prompt embeds payload in a /v1/completions request with a model using M-RoPE causes EngineCore to fail an assertion and fatally crash, shutting down the entire server application. Any remote user who is...

CVE-2026-55514

CVE-2026-55514 affects the vLLM library (inference/serving) from versions 0.12.0 through older than 0.24.0. Sending a pure prompt embeds payload in a /v1/completions request for a model using M-RoPE triggers an EngineCore assertion, causing a fatal crash that shuts down the entire server applicat...

CVE-2026-56340

A flaw was found in vLLM. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to trigger crashes or resource exhaustion, leading to a denial of service DoS. By submitting specially crafted embedding requests with malformed tensor indices, when the prompt-embeds feature is enabled, an attacker could also...

CVE-2026-56340

vLLM versions = 0.10.2 and 0.13.0 are missing sparse tensor validation in multimodal embeddings processing. Because PyTorch disables sparse tensor invariant checks by default, an attacker can submit crafted embedding requests with malformed negative or out-of-bounds tensor indices, when the...

vLLM versions = 0.10.2 and 0.13.0 are missing sparse tensor validation in multimodal embeddings processing. Because PyTorch disables sparse tensor invariant checks by default, an attacker can submit crafted embedding requests with malformed negative or out-of-bounds tensor indices, when the...

CVE-2026-56340 vLLM - Denial of Service via Unvalidated Multimodal Embeddings

vLLM versions = 0.10.2 and 0.13.0 are missing sparse tensor validation in multimodal embeddings processing. Because PyTorch disables sparse tensor invariant checks by default, an attacker can submit crafted embedding requests with malformed negative or out-of-bounds tensor indices, when the...

PT-2026-51172

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions vLLM versions 0.10.2 through 0.12.x Description Multimodal embeddings processing lacks sparse tensor validation. Since PyTorch disables sparse tensor invariant checks by default, an attacker can submit crafted embedding requests containing...

vLLM introduced enhanced protection for CVE-2025-62164

Summary The fix here for CVE-2025-62164 is not sufficient. The fix only disables prompt embeds by default rather than addressing the root cause, so the DoS vulnerability remains when the feature is enabled. Details vLLM's pending change attempts to fix the root cause, which is the missing sparse...
