CVE-2026-12491 · Vllm: vllm: image exif rotation & png trns transparency not normalized, causing mismatch between model input and expectations

This page contains facts from public vulnerability sources. Check the original advisory before updating.

A flaw was found in vLLM, an open-source library for large language model inference. This vulnerability arises from improper handling of image metadata, specifically EXIF orientation and PNG transparency (tRNS) data, during image processing. When images are converted to RGB, transparency information may be implicitly discarded or remapped, leading to unexpected rendering of transparent pixels and distortion of input content. This can result in the model misinterpreting image content, potentially affecting the integrity of processed data.
