CVE-2026-22778 — AI Deep Analysis Summary

🚨 **Essence**: vLLM logs leak heap addresses when processing invalid images. 📉 **Consequences**: Weakens ASLR (Address Space Layout Randomization), paving the way for Remote Code Execution (RCE).…

🛡️ **CWE**: CWE-532 (Information Exposure through Log Files). 🔍 **Flaw**: The engine fails to sanitize debug logs containing sensitive memory addresses (heap pointers) during error handling of malformed inputs.

📦 **Vendor**: vllm-project. 📦 **Product**: vLLM. 📅 **Affected**: Versions **0.8.3** up to **0.14.1** (exclusive). ✅ **Fixed**: v0.14.1+.

🕵️ **Hackers Can**: Extract heap addresses from logs. 🧠 **Goal**: Bypass ASLR protections. 🚀 **End Game**: Achieve Remote Code Execution (RCE) on the inference server.…

⚡ **Threshold**: LOW. 🌐 **Access**: Network (AV:N). 🔑 **Auth**: None required (PR:N). 👁️ **UI**: None required (UI:N). 📉 **Complexity**: Low (AC:L). Anyone with network access can trigger it.

🚫 **Public Exploit**: No specific PoC provided in data. 📜 **References**: GitHub PRs and Security Advisories exist.…

🔍 **Check**: Scan vLLM logs for hex strings resembling heap addresses. 🧪 **Test**: Send invalid/malformed image payloads to the inference endpoint.…

✅ **Fixed**: Yes. 📥 **Patch**: Upgrade to **v0.14.1** or later. 🔗 **Source**: [GitHub Release v0.14.1](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm/releases/tag/v0.14.1).…

🚧 **Workaround**: 1. Disable verbose/debug logging in production. 2. Implement log sanitization filters to mask memory addresses. 3. Restrict log access permissions strictly. 🛑 **Note**: Not a full fix, just mitigation.

🔥 **Priority**: CRITICAL. 🚨 **Urgency**: Immediate action required. 📉 **CVSS**: 9.8 (Critical). ⏳ **Time**: Patch immediately to prevent potential RCE via ASLR bypass. 🛡️ **Action**: Upgrade NOW.
