Duplicate Advisory: vLLM Vulnerable to Regular Expression Denial of Service

Duplicate Advisory

This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-j828-28rj-hfhp. This link is maintained to preserve external references.

Original Description

vLLM versions >= 0.6.3 and < 0.9.0 contain multiple regular expression denial of service (ReDoS) vulnerabilities. Several regex patterns — in vllm/lora/utils.py, the phi4mini tool parser, and the OpenAI-compatible serving chat endpoint — are susceptible to catastrophic backtracking. An attacker submitting crafted input with nested or repeated structures can trigger severe CPU consumption and performance degradation, resulting in denial of service.
