Last modified
CVE-2026-116179 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. vLLM from 0.18.0 before 0.31.0 contains a resource exhaustion vulnerability that allows API clients to bypass the video/jpeg frame-count cap by overriding num_frames through media_io_kwargs. Attackers can set num_frames to -1 with a large inline video so VideoMediaIO.load_base64 decodes every frame, exhausting memory and crashing the API frontend.. EPSS estimates a 0.30% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
