Vulnerability details

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to disclose model information and model output through a victim's browser.

The vulnerability exists due to a permissive cross-origin security policy with a wildcard allowed origin in the vLLM OpenAI-compatible HTTP server's CORS middleware when handling cross-origin browser requests. A remote attacker can trick a victim into visiting a malicious web page that sends requests to an unauthenticated vLLM server reachable by the victim's browser to read model information and model output from the responses.
