Last modified
CVE-2026-37237 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. vLLM up to and including 0.17.0 allows remote attackers to cause a Denial of Service via memory exhaustion. The AsyncMediaIO.fetch_audio and AsyncMediaIO.fetch_image functions in multimodal/inputs.py fetch user-supplied media URLs using aiohttp and call r.read() without enforcing a maximum response size, allowing an attacker to exhaust server memory by providing a URL to an arbitrarily large file.. EPSS estimates a 0.53% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
