CVE-2026-94622 · vLLM through 0.29.0 Denial of Service via Incomplete NIXL KV Transfer Metadata
This page contains facts from public vulnerability sources. Check the original advisory before updating.
vLLM versions through 0.29.0 contain a denial of service vulnerability in the NIXL connector's metadata handling for prefill/decode disaggregated deployments. Attackers can send requests with incomplete kv_transfer_params dictionary entries to trigger an uncaught KeyError in EngineCore scheduling, causing the decode engine to terminate and making all routed requests fail until manual restart.
