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 Handling of Exceptional Conditions via validate_tokens in the structured output backend, when a request carrying invalid structured-output grammar causes the engine to process speculative-decoding padding sentinels (-1 values) as real token IDs. An authenticated remote attacker can send a malformed structured-output request that passes -1 sentinel tokens into the grammar validator, triggering an unhandled error that stops the entire inference engine and denies service to all users.
