CVE-2026-103270: LightLLM authentication bypass in reinforcement learning control API

CVE-2026-103270 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.5 · Published 2026-09-30

LightLLM is a Python framework that serves large language models for inference. When started with reinforcement learning mode enabled (--enable_rl), the service exposes unauthenticated control endpoints on its public HTTP API that allow attackers to pause generation, abort requests, flush caches, and wedge worker processes, causing service unavailability. Even when RL mode is disabled, these endpoints remain mounted and respond with errors instead of 404, contradicting documented behavior.

Technical details

The vulnerability is a missing authentication check (CWE-306) in the HTTP API router. Reinforcement learning control routes defined in api_http_rl.py are unconditionally included in the public API without credential validation, and an unauthenticated network attacker can invoke endpoints like /pause_generation, /abort_request, /flush_cache, and /init_weights_update_group. The vulnerability requires only network access to the inference HTTP port; with --enable_rl enabled, the endpoints function fully; without it, they incorrectly return 500/417 errors instead of 404, revealing the routes exist.
