CVE-2026-126397 vLLM 0.10.1 before 0.31.0 Cohere2 Vision DoS via max_patches

8.7 highEPSS 0.7%

High (8.7) in vllm-project vllm. EPSS 0.7% estimated probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days.

On this page
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.
