vLLM allows clients to crash the openai server with invalid regex

  • Disclosed: 28.05.2025
  • Updated: 11.10.2026 14:19

Impact

A denial of service bug caused the vLLM server to crash if an invalid regex was provided while using structured output. This vulnerability is similar to GHSA-6qc9-v4r8-22xg, but for regex instead of a JSON schema.
