Before version 0.11.0rc2, the API key support in vLLM performs validation using a method that was vulnerable to a timing attack. API key validation uses a string comparison that takes longer the more characters the provided API key gets correct. Data analysis across many attempts could allow an attacker to determine when it finds the next correct character in the key sequence. Deployments relying on vLLM&#8217;s built-in API key validation are vulnerable to authentication bypass using this technique. Version 0.11.0rc2 fixes the issue.<\/p>\n<p>Severity: 7.5 | HIGH<\/p>\n<p>Visit the link for more details, such as CVSS details, affected products, timeline, and more&#8230;\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CVE ID : CVE-2025-59425 Published : Oct. 7, 2025, 2:15 p.m. | 19\u00a0minutes ago Description : vLLM is an inference and serving engine for large language models (LLMs).
