Unbounded buffering of unacknowledged KV-transfer acknowledgements in the MoRIIO connector of vLLM 0.26.0 and 0.27.0 allows a remote, unauthenticated client to grow worker memory indefinitely and degrade or crash LLM inference serving. The root cause is CWE-400 uncontrolled resource consumption in moriio_connector.py, where acknowledgements whose transfer mapping is not yet populated are appended to _pending_unmapped_acks with no TTL or size cap across request_finished, get_finished and _handle_release_message. Impact is availability-only (CVSS 4.0 base 6.9, AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/VA:L); no public exploit code and no CISA KEV

DescriptionCVE.org
A vulnerability was found in vllm-project vLLM 0.26.0/0.27.0. Affected is the function MoRIIOConnectorScheduler.request_finished/MoRIIOConnectorWorker.get_finished/MoRIIOWrapper._handle_release_message of the file vllm/distributed/kv_transfer/kv_connector/v1/moriio/moriio_connector.py of the component MoRIIO Acknowledgement Handler. Performing a manipulation of the argument request_id/kv_transfer_params results in resource consumption. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The project was informed of the problem early through a pull request but has not reacted yet.
