CVE-2026-93840
Description
A flaw was found in vLLM. This vulnerability arises from incorrect validation of allowed_token_ids against the tokenizer length instead of the model's output logits width. A remote attacker can exploit this by supplying token IDs that exceed the output vocabulary, which bypasses validation. This can lead to the corruption of the GPU logits state, potentially allowing concurrent requests to sample tokens outside their intended allowlists, resulting in information disclosure.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
The following CVSS metrics and score provided are preliminary and subject to review.

Understanding the Weakness (CWE)
Integrity
Technical Impact: Modify Memory; Execute Unauthorized Code or Commands
Write operations could cause memory corruption. In some cases, an adversary can modify control data such as return addresses in order to execute unexpected code.
Availability
Technical Impact: DoS: Crash, Exit, or Restart
Attempting to access out-of-range, invalid, or unauthorized memory could cause the product to crash.
Other
Technical Impact: Unexpected State
Subsequent write operations can produce undefined or unexpected results.
