CSSA Exclusive Early Warning 2

CSSA Exclusive Early Warning 10.0 Critical

Race in vLLM's prefill/decode split lets a stale KV-cache read leak data and crash the service

The flaw is in KV-block lease management between the prefill and decode components. When a request stays in the orchestrator longer than the default lease, the producer reclaims and reuses the KV-cache block while the consumer still reads with an expired remote block ID. That race makes the consumer silently load another request's hybrid attention state or recurrent state. An attacker can mix up data this way, or craft input that triggers a CUDA illegal-address error and crash the whole inference engine, seriously damaging confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Component
vLLM is a high-performance inference framework for large language models. It optimizes Transformer attention computation and memory management, and uses a distributed architecture that separates prefill from decode to maximize GPU utilization. Through low-level communication libraries such as NIXL it transfers tensors and synchronizes state across devices, supporting high-concurrency, low-latency enterprise AI applications.
Type
Race Condition (CWE-362)
Repo
Remediation
  • Add a strict validity check for prefill-block leases at the data-transfer layer so the consumer verifies that the lease has not expired before reading. Add heartbeat lease renewal so long-waiting requests stay valid, and fail the operation when an invalid read is detected instead of continuing, eliminating the race.

An authorization flaw in the litellm proxy lets a remote attacker obtain unrestricted access and damage system integrity

granted_scope does not distinguish a missing value from an empty string when parsing the scope claim in an ID-JAG assertion, so an empty scope is incorrectly mapped to an unrestricted global credential. An attacker can send a network request with a validly signed token that contains an empty scope, bypass route-based fine-grained access control, and call every LLM and MCP inference interface behind the proxy without restriction, severely damaging confidentiality and integrity.

Component
litellm is a unified proxy for large-language-model calls. It hides differences among underlying models and provides a standard API, covering routing, key management, and request authentication. Identity assertions such as ID-JAG control access to microservices or MCP resources and isolate privileges.
Type
Improper Authorization (CWE-285)
Repo
Remediation
  • Strictly distinguish whether a claim field is present from whether its contents are valid. If scope is not None but empty or whitespace, return an invalid-scope rejection. Grant the default credential only when the assertion omits the field entirely, and add regression tests for the empty-string case so the authorization logic stays robust.

CVE-2026-113363 CVSS 10.0 Critical 2026-11-09

Remote command execution in NEC WebSAM WinShare runs arbitrary code as SYSTEM

In NEC Corporation WebSAM WinShare 7.2.0 through 7.5.0, 7.6.0, and 7.7.0 through 7.7.2, the network-communication module on Windows has improper input validation (CWE-749). An attacker can send a crafted network packet to a computer running WinShare and trigger an unauthenticated remote attack that executes arbitrary commands as SYSTEM. Every WinShare user who has not updated to a fixed version is affected, including enterprise remote-access deployments. The attacker needs no authentication, can attack remotely, and directly obtains the highest system privileges.

Component
NEC WebSAM WinShare is a remote-access and session-management solution for Windows that lets users reach internal resources securely over the network.
Risks
  • Complete system control: Commands executed as SYSTEM give full control of the compromised host, including installing malware, stealing sensitive data, or damaging system integrity
  • Unauthenticated remote attack: No credentials or user interaction are required; a crafted network packet is enough, which greatly lowers the barrier
  • Lateral-movement risk: With SYSTEM privileges the attacker can move laterally inside the network and threaten the whole enterprise network
Source
Remediation
  • Deploy an intrusion detection system (IDS) at the network boundary to monitor WinShare ports for abnormal traffic and crafted packets
  • Restrict network access to the WinShare service so only trusted IP addresses can connect
CVE-2026-124450 CVSS 9.9 Critical 2026-11-08

Path traversal in the OpenEMR fax module leads to remote code execution

Before OpenEMR 8.3.0, the disposeDocument action in the fax/SMS module fails access control and does not validate the file_path parameter, a path-traversal flaw (CWE-73). An authenticated low-privilege user can read sqlconf.php to recover database credentials and write arbitrary files as the web user, leading to remote code execution. Every OpenEMR user who has not updated to 8.3.0 is affected. A low-privilege account is enough to trigger the flaw and fully control the server with a crafted request.

Component
OpenEMR is open-source electronic medical record and medical practice management software, widely used by healthcare organizations for patient data and clinical workflows.
Risks
  • Database credential disclosure: The attacker can read the configuration file for database connection details and further penetrate the backend database
  • Arbitrary file write: The attacker can write files anywhere on the server as the web user, laying groundwork for further attacks
  • Remote code execution: By writing a malicious script or configuration file, the attacker can run arbitrary system commands and fully take over the server
  • Low-privilege exploitation: An authenticated low-privilege account is enough to launch the attack, lowering the barrier
Source
Remediation
  • Upgrade OpenEMR to 8.3.0 or later immediately to fix the flaw
  • Strictly limit access to the fax/SMS module and apply least privilege
  • Monitor the server filesystem for abnormal writes, especially new files created under the web directory
  • Rotate database credentials regularly and restrict read access to the configuration file sqlconf.php
