Critical CVSS 9.1
CVE-2026-14890
NVD analysis in progress
SGLang uses an expert-parallel backup subsystem that exposes a ZeroMQ PULL socket on a routable network interface that does not contain authentication or deserialization safeguards, allowing an attacker to provide a malicious pickle file that results in unauthenticated remote code execution when the feature is enabled and the service is reachable over the network.
What this means
- Exposure
- Exploitable remotely over the network, without authentication and with no action from the victim.
- Impact
- An attacker can read sensitive data and modify or destroy data.
- Weakness
- The application rebuilds an object from attacker-controlled data, which often leads to code execution.
- Likelihood
- Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.
What to doPatch without waiting for the next scheduled cycle. Start with the instances exposed to the internet.
