How to fix?

Upgrade vllm to version 0.31.0 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 Use of Weak Hash via MultiModalHasher.serialize_item and iter_item_to_bytes in vllm/multimodal/hasher.py, where the hash digest input stream is not framed with per-chunk lengths or container-kind tags. Because distinct byte sequences can serialize to identical concatenated bytes, two different multimodal inputs can produce the same cache key, causing incorrect cache hits. An authenticated attacker can craft multimodal inputs that collide with a victim's cached entry, causing the wrong cached result to be served or evicting valid cache entries, resulting in a crash or incorrect inference output that constitutes a denial of service.
