7.5 HIGH

Unauthenticated network attacker trivially exhausts memory (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N); pure availability loss (A:H, C:N/I:N); the disaggregation/Mooncake requirement is a deployment precondition, not per-attack complexity, so AC:L retained.

DescriptionCVE.org

SGLang through 0.5.19 in prefill/decode disaggregation mode with Mooncake KV transfer backend fails to validate bootstrap_room values, allowing unbounded transfer state allocation. Unauthenticated attackers can reach the decode engine's POST /generate endpoint and submit arbitrary bootstrap_room values to exhaust prefill process memory until out-of-memory termination.

AnalysisAI

Unauthenticated memory exhaustion in SGLang through 0.5.19 lets remote attackers force out-of-memory termination of the prefill process by submitting arbitrary bootstrap_room values to the decode engine's POST /generate endpoint. The flaw only manifests in a non-default deployment: prefill/decode disaggregation mode with the Mooncake KV transfer backend enabled, which is not the standard monolithic serving configuration, and the endpoint must be network-reachable. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Requires SGLang (through 0.5.19) deployed in prefill/decode disaggregation mode with the Mooncake KV transfer backend enabled - this is NOT the default single-process serving configuration. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment This is a genuine but scope-limited availability risk. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation No vendor-released patch was identified at time of analysis; the only upstream artefact in the input data is the tracking issue at https://github.com/sgl-project/sglang/issues/39428, so operators should monitor that issue and the repository at https://github.com/sgl-project/sglang for a fixed release and upgrade as soon as one is tagged (do not assume any specific version number beyond 0.5.19 is fixed). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, inventory all SGLang deployments (version 0.5.19 and earlier) to determine if prefill/decode disaggregation mode with Mooncake KV transfer is enabled; if so, immediately restrict network access to the decode engine's POST /generate endpoint or disable the vulnerable configuration. …
