AI-suggested
Until an official fix is available, restrict network access to the PD master node to trusted entities only to prevent unauthorized access to the vulnerable WebSocket endpoints. Monitor for unusual activity targeting these endpoints. Do not expose the PD master node to untrusted networks.
Description
LightLLM version 1.1.0 and prior contain an unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability in PD (prefill-decode) disaggregation mode. The PD master node exposes WebSocket endpoints that receive binary frames and pass the data directly to pickle.loads() without authentication or validation. A remote attacker who can reach the PD master can send a crafted payload to achieve arbitrary code execution.
