CVE-2026-100653: vLLM 0.22.1 before 0.28.0 Incomplete Artifact Pin Propagation

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 33/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.34% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. Special conditions such as timing or configuration are required.
  • Fixed version: vllm-project vllm 0.28.0.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to vllm-project vllm 0.28.0 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

vLLM is an inference and serving engine for large language models. In versions from 0.22.1 through 0.28.0, the operator-supplied model revision pin (--revision / --code-revision) is not propagated to several Hugging Face artifact loads for the FunAudioChat and Tarsier2 architectures: the WhisperFeatureExtractor and speech_tokenizer PreTrainedTokenizerFast loads in vllm/model_executor/models/funaudiochat.py and the Qwen2VLConfig.from_pretrained call used by Tarsier2ProcessingInfo in vllm/model_executor/models/qwen2_vl.py. As a result, deployments pinned to a reviewed revision still resolve these behavior-affecting processor, tokenizer, and config artifacts from the repository's default revision, so a later change to the upstream default branch can alter audio preprocessing, speech tokenizer behavior, or Tarsier2 configuration without any change to the operator's configured pin. This is a supply-chain integrity and reproducibility failure for pinned deployments; it is residual to the earlier fix tracked as GHSA-3ww4-5jv9-j5gm / CVE-2026-47155 and does not constitute remote code execution or a trust_remote_code=False bypass. The issue is fixed in version 0.28.0.
