NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream vllm-openai-cuda-12.9 package and not the vllm-openai-cuda-12.9 package as distributed by Chainguard. See How to fix? for Chainguard relevant fixed versions and status.

vLLM is an inference and serving engine for large language models (LLMs). Starting in version 0.10.1 and prior to version 0.18.0, two model implementation files hardcode trust_remote_code=True when loading sub-components, bypassing the user's explicit --trust-remote-code=False security opt-out. This enables remote code execution via malicious model repositories even when the user has explicitly disabled remote code trust. Version 0.18.0 patches the issue.
