CVE-2026-126397

HIGHCVSS 7.5/10

Last modified

CVE-2026-126397 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. vLLM from 0.10.1 before 0.31.0 forwards a request-controlled mm_processor_kwargs.max_patches value to the Hugging Face processor for Cohere2 Vision models without a server-side upper bound, causing quadratic CPU work during multimodal preprocessing. Remote clients can send small image chat-completion requests with large, varying max_patches values to bypass the LRU cache, exhaust preprocessing workers, and deny service to other clients..
