The vulnerability exists because the regex patterns are sent directly to backend compilers without checking if they will take too long to process, and patterns with nested quantifiers (like repeated matching operations inside each other) can cause exponential state-space expansion (the number of possible states the regex checker must evaluate grows exponentially). An attacker could exploit this to perform a denial-of-service attack (making a service unavailable to legitimate users).","solution":"Update vLLM to version 0.24.0 or later, where this issue is fixed.","labels":["security"],"sourceUrl":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-55574","publishedAt":"2026-07-06T21:16:57.347Z","cveId":"CVE-2026-55574","cweIds":["CWE-1333"],"cvssScore":null,"cvssSeverity":null,"severity":"high","attackType":["denial_of_service"],"issueType":"vulnerability","affectedPackages":null,"affectedVendors":[],"affectedVendorsRaw":["vLLM"],"classifierModel":"claude-haiku-4-5-20251001","classifierPromptVersion":"v3","cvssVector":null,"attackVector":null,"attackComplexity":null,"privilegesRequired":null,"userInteraction":null,"exploitMaturity":"unknown","epssScore":0,"patchAvailable":null,"disclosureDate":"2026-07-06T21:16:57.347Z","capecIds":null,"crossRefCount":0,"attackSophistication":"moderate","impactType":["availability"],"aiComponentTargeted":"inference","llmSpecific":true,"classifierConfidence":0.95,"researchCategory":null,"atlasIds":null}}
