Technical description

vLLM is an inference and serving engine for large language models. From 0.19.0 until 0.26.0, the /v1/completions CompletionRequest.prompt field in vllm/entrypoints/openai/completion/protocol.py accepts an unbounded list[str] or list[list[int]], prompt_to_seq() in vllm/renderers/inputs/preprocess.py and OnlineRenderer.preprocess_completion() in vllm/renderers/online_renderer.py expand every element, and vllm/entrypoints/openai/completion/serving.py creates one engine generator and response slot per prompt, allowing an authenticated API client to exhaust CPU, memory, async scheduling capacity, engine request slots, and response buffering with one request. This issue is fixed in version 0.26.0.

CVE-2026-736337.5 HIG

—

———Uncontrolled resource consumption vulnerability in the JSON plugin of Apache Struts. When an application is configured to populate actions from a JSON request body, the plugin reads that body into memory without bounding how much it will accept, so a single request can exhaust the heap and deny service to other users. The plugin's configurable JSON input length limit does not bound this read. The JSON plugin is an optional component; applications that do not use it, or use it without enabling JSON request-body handling, are not affected. This issue affects Apache Struts: from 2.1.8 through 2.3.37, from 2.5.0 through 2.5.33, from 6.0.0 through 6.10.0, from 7.0.0 through 7.2.1. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 6.11.0 or 7.3.0, which fixes the issue.8h CVE-2026-198305.3 MED

———A vulnerability was found in TRENDnet TEW-816DRM GURNC4.OT182B-C-TN-R1B028-US.EN. This impacts an unknown function of the file /etc/bftpd.conf of the component bftpd. The manipulation of the argument USERLIMIT_GLOBAL results in allocation of resources. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. This vulnerability only affects products that are no longer supported by the maintainer.7h CVE-2026-338187.5 HIG

———py-libp2p is the Python implementation of the libp2p networking stack. In 0.7.0 and earlier, the yamux handle_incoming() method in libp2p/stream_muxer/yamux/yamux.py reads an attacker-controlled 32-bit DATA frame length with read_exactly() before validating it against MAX_WINDOW_SIZE or checking whether stream_id exists. A peer that completes the standard Noise handshake can send a 12-byte frame declaring a 0xFFFFFFFF body and then withhold the body, causing the sequential yamux read loop used by the default new_host() configuration to block and preventing every stream on that connection from making progress. No fixed version is available as of this review.1d CVE-2026-735667.5 HIG

———node-tar is a tar archive manipulation library for Node.js. Prior to 7.5.21, node-tar's filesFilter in src/list.ts uses the recursive mapHas helper to walk an archive entry path upward with path.dirname() and no segment cap when tar.t(...) or tar.x(...) receives a non-empty member-selection list. A crafted GNU L or PAX x long-path header with thousands of slash-separated segments reaches this.filter(entry.path, entry) in Parser[CONSUMEHEADER] in src/parse.ts before Unpack[CHECKPATH] applies maxDepth, causing an uncatchable RangeError stack overflow that terminates asynchronous and streaming Node.js consumers. This issue is fixed in version 7.5.21.1d
