Last modified

CVE-2026-4944 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.8/10 on the CVSS scale. vllm-project/vllm version 0.14.1 contains a vulnerability where the `trust_remote_code=True` parameter is hardcoded in two model implementation files (`vllm/model_executor/models/nemotron_vl.py` and `vllm/model_executor/models/kimi_k25.py`). This bypasses the user's explicit `--trust-remote-code=False` setting, enabling remote code execution via malicious HuggingFace model repositories. EPSS estimates a 0.75% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Description

vllm-project/vllm version 0.14.1 contains a vulnerability where the `trust_remote_code=True` parameter is hardcoded in two model implementation files (`vllm/model_executor/models/nemotron_vl.py` and `vllm/model_executor/models/kimi_k25.py`). This bypasses the user's explicit `--trust-remote-code=False` setting, enabling remote code execution via malicious HuggingFace model repositories. This issue is an incomplete fix for CVE-2025-66448 and CVE-2026-22807, as it affects separate code paths in model implementation files. Deployments loading NemotronVL or KimiK25 models are particularly impacted.
