CVE-2026-94623 · vLLM through 0.29.0 Denial of Service via NIXL Multi-Prompt Assertion Failure
This page contains facts from public vulnerability sources. Check the original advisory before updating.
vLLM through 0.29.0 contains a denial of service vulnerability in the NIXL connector's prefix caching implementation that fails to properly validate block counts across multi-prompt completion requests in prefill/decode disaggregated deployments. Attackers can trigger an assertion failure in NixlBaseConnectorWorker._apply_prefix_caching by submitting completion requests with multiple prompts of varying lengths, causing the decode worker to terminate and become unavailable until restarted.
