AI-suggested
A fix is available in vLLM version 0.29.0. Users should upgrade to version 0.29.0 or later to remediate this vulnerability. Until upgraded, avoid sending stop_token_ids that may be out of the model's vocabulary range. Patch status is confirmed by the versioning information indicating versions before 0.29.0 are affected and 0.29.0 is the fixed version.
Description
vLLM before 0.29.0 accepts user-controlled stop_token_ids on the OpenAI-compatible POST /v1/completions and POST /v1/chat/completions endpoints but validates only that the values are integers, not that each token id is within the model vocabulary/logits range. When min_tokens > 0, the stop token ids are used as logits indices to suppress stop tokens, so an out-of-range id reaches a CUDA indexing operation (index_put_) and triggers a device-side assertion. An authenticated API user can send a single malformed completion request that returns 500 Internal Server Error and puts EngineCore into a fatal state, causing subsequent requests to fail until the service is restarted (denial of service).
