CVE-2026-54235 vLLM: temperature=NaN and temperature=Infinity bypass validation and propagate to GPU kernels

vLLM is an inference and serving engine for large language models LLMs. Prior to 0.23.1rc0, ll temperature validation gates use comparison operators , which silently evaluate to False for NaN and for positive Infinity in Python's IEEE 754 float semantics. Both values pass every guard and propagat...

CVE-2026-54235

Summary: CVE-2026-54235 affects vLLM prior to 0.23.1rc0, where temperature validation gates using can silently mis-handle NaN and positive Infinity due to Python IEEE 754 behavior. This allows non-finite temperatures to bypass guards and propagate to GPU sampling kernels, causing undefined behav...

GHSA-7H4P-RFFG-7823 vLLM: temperature=NaN and temperature=Infinity bypass validation and propagate to GPU kernels

Summary All temperature validation gates use comparison operators , which silently evaluate to False for NaN and for positive Infinity in Python's IEEE 754 float semantics. Both values pass every guard and propagate to GPU sampling kernels, where they produce undefined behavior or CUDA errors tha...
