CRITICAL vLLM: vLLM CVE-2026-22778 — remote code execution via video endpoints
Why it matters
Your vLLM version is in the affected range for an RCE in the video-processing path of multimodal endpoints. It applies to servers actually serving a video model — and it works even if you set an API key, because the vulnerable code runs before authentication.
Fix it — 2 steps
- Upgrade vLLM to 0.14.1 or later and rebuild/restart the serving container.
- If you serve no video model you are outside the affected path, but still upgrade — and keep the API off the public IP (see the 'vLLM API open to the internet' card).
Verify it’s fixed
curl -m 5 http://127.0.0.1:8000/version # version must be >= 0.14.1
