Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 15, 2026
A resource-exhaustion (denial of service) flaw in vLLM's OpenAI-compatible /v1/chat/completions endpoint lets a caller- or model-supplied Jinja chat_template drive nested range() loops whose evaluation cost grows as O(N^depth), tying up a request-runtime worker thread for tens of seconds. vLLM releases up to and including 0.27.1 are affected (EUVD lists 0.27.0 and 0.27.1), with the CPE range expressed as vllm-project:vllm:* so earlier releases are plausibly in scope too. Publicly available exploit code exists, and CVSS 4.0 rates the issue only 2.1 with availability impact rated Low; a fix PR that introduces a minijinja evaluation 'fuel' budget is still awaiting acceptance.
