How to fix?

Upgrade vllm to version 0.11.1 or higher.

Overview

vllm is an A high-throughput and memory-efficient inference and serving engine for LLMs

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-bounds Write via the to_dense function in the Completions API endpoint when processing user-supplied prompt embeddings. An attacker can achieve memory corruption, crash the server process, or potentially execute arbitrary code by submitting maliciously crafted serialized tensors that bypass internal bounds checks.

Note:

The fix for this issue proved to be insufficient and the vendor has addressed additional concerns in version 0.13.0. See Snyk Advisory.
