Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in vllm-project vLLM up to 0.29.x. It has been rated as problematic. Affected by this issue is some unknown processing of the file /v1/responses of the component Prefix Caching. The manipulation of the argument cache_salt with an unknown input leads to a isolation vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-653. The product does not properly compartmentalize or isolate functionality, processes, or resources that require different privilege levels, rights, or permissions. Impacted is confidentiality. CVE summarizes:

vLLM is an inference and serving engine for large language models. Prior to 0.30.0, Harmony tool continuations submitted through "POST /v1/responses" requests rebuild the next-turn engine input without preserving the cache_salt value, placing the continuation prefix in the global unsalted cache namespace even when the caller enabled salting. On deployments with prefix caching enabled, which is the default, an authenticated tenant who can reconstruct a victim's low-entropy post-tool history can submit the same continuation and use the cached_tokens_per_turn count to determine whether the prefix was previously processed, defeating the intended tenant isolation of salted prefix caching. This issue is fixed in version 0.30.0.

The advisory is available at github.com. This vulnerability is handled as CVE-2026-105752 since 10/05/2026. The exploitation is known to be easy. The attack may be launched remotely. Technical details are known, but there is no available exploit.

Upgrading to version 0.30.0 eliminates this vulnerability.
