### Summary When vLLM is configured to use Mooncake, unsafe deserialization exposed directly over ZMQ/TCP on all network interfaces will allow attackers to execute remote code on distributed hosts. ### Details 1. Pickle deserialization vulnerabilities are [well documented](https://docs.python.org/3/library/pickle.html). 2. The [mooncake pipe](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm/blob/9bebc9512f9340e94579b9bd69cfdc452c4d5bb0/vllm/distributed/kv_transfer/kv_pipe/mooncake_pipe.py#L206) is exposed over the network (by design to enable disaggregated prefilling across distributed environments) using ZMQ over TCP, greatly increasing exploitability. Further, the mooncake integration opens these sockets listening on all interfaces on the host, meaning it can not be configured to only use a private, trusted network. 4. The root problem is [`recv_tensor()`](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm/blob/9bebc9512f9340e94579b9bd69cfdc452c4d5bb0/vllm/distributed/kv_transfer/kv_pipe/mooncake_pipe.py#L25...

### Impact The [outlines](https://dottxt-ai.github.io/outlines/latest/) library is one of the backends used by vLLM to support structured output (a.k.a. guided decoding). Outlines provides an optional cache for its compiled grammars on the local filesystem. This cache has been on by default in vLLM. Outlines is also available by default through the OpenAI compatible API server. The affected code in vLLM is [vllm/model_executor/guided_decoding/outlines_logits_processors.py](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm/blob/53be4a863486d02bd96a59c674bbec23eec508f6/vllm/model_executor/guided_decoding/outlines_logits_processors.py), which unconditionally uses the cache from outlines. vLLM should have this off by default and allow administrators to opt-in due to the potential for abuse. A malicious user can send a stream of very short decoding requests with unique schemas, resulting in an addition to the cache for each request. This can result in a Denial of Service if the filesystem runs out of ...

Threat actors are exploiting a severe security flaw in PHP to deliver cryptocurrency miners and remote access trojans (RATs) like Quasar RAT. The vulnerability, assigned the CVE identifier CVE-2024-4577, refers to an argument injection vulnerability in PHP affecting Windows-based systems running in CGI mode that could allow remote attackers to run arbitrary code.

### Summary The `fast-jwt` library does not properly validate the `iss` claim based on the RFC https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7519#page-9. #### Details The `iss` (issuer) claim validation within the fast-jwt library permits an array of strings as a valid `iss` value. This design flaw enables a potential attack where a malicious actor crafts a JWT with an `iss` claim structured as `['https://attacker-domain/', 'https://valid-iss']`. Due to the permissive validation, the JWT will be deemed valid. Furthermore, if the application relies on external libraries like `get-jwks` that do not independently validate the `iss` claim, the attacker can leverage this vulnerability to forge a JWT that will be accepted by the victim application. Essentially, the attacker can insert their own domain into the `iss` array, alongside the legitimate issuer, and bypass the intended security checks. #### PoC Take a server running the following code: ```js const express = require('express') const ...

Mattermost versions 9.11.x <= 9.11.8 fail to properly perform authorization of the Viewer role which allows an attacker with the Viewer role configured with No Access to Reporting to still view team and site statistics.
