CVE-2026-73559: vLLM: Completion prompt lists fan out into unbounded engine requests

August 13, 2026

The /v1/completions request model accepts prompt as a list of text prompts or a list of token-id prompts without any outer prompt-count bound. The serving path turns each element into a separate engine input, creates one engine generator per element, merges all generators, and allocates a response slot per prompt. An authenticated API client can therefore turn one request into an attacker-chosen number of backend subrequests before any aggregate request-count budget is enforced.
