What is CVE-2026-22807?

CVE-2026-22807 is a high-severity code injection vulnerability in Vllm Vllm, published on 21 Jan 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.

Official description

vLLM is an inference and serving engine for large language models (LLMs). Starting in version 0.10.1 and prior to version 0.14.0, vLLM loads Hugging Face `auto_map` dynamic modules during model resolution without gating on `trust_remote_code`, allowing attacker-controlled Python code in a model repo/path to execute at server startup. An attacker who can influence the model repo/path (local directory or remote Hugging Face repo) can achieve arbitrary code execution on the vLLM host during model load. This happens before any request handling and does not require API access. Version 0.14.0 fixes the issue.

Weakness: CWE-94
