Overview

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

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Validation of Array Index via SamplingParams.update_from_tokenizer(), which fails to validate bad_words token indices against the model's generation output width. An authenticated attacker can supply out-of-bounds token indices that corrupt the logits memory of concurrent requests, causing other in-flight HTTP requests to receive incorrect tokens in their responses.
