Medium (6.9) in vllm vllm. EPSS 0.5% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days. Fixed in vllm 0.30.0.
vLLM through 0.29.0 contains a resource exhaustion vulnerability in MooncakeConnector where rejected prefill requests create ownerless transfer placeholders that are never reclaimed. Attackers can send rejected requests to exhaust sender task pools, causing valid requests to be delayed by up to 480 seconds while health checks continue returning success.
