Quick fix
PYSEC-2026-4008 — vllm: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.
pip install --upgrade 'vllm>=0.30.0'Details
vLLM through 0.29.0 fails to validate the tp_size parameter in kv_transfer_params on OpenAI-compatible completion endpoints, allowing attackers to allocate unbounded memory. Attackers can supply arbitrary tp_size values in prefill/decode disaggregated deployments to exhaust memory and trigger kernel OOM-kill of the decode worker process.
