CVE-2025-48942
MEDIUMvllm 0.8.0-0.9.0 - Denial of Service via Invalid JSON Schema in /v1/completions API
Title source: llmDescription
vLLM is an inference and serving engine for large language models (LLMs). In versions 0.8.0 up to but excluding 0.9.0, hitting the /v1/completions API with a invalid json_schema as a Guided Param kills the vllm server. This vulnerability is similar GHSA-9hcf-v7m4-6m2j/CVE-2025-48943, but for regex instead of a JSON schema. Version 0.9.0 fixes the issue.
