CVE-2026-112266: SGLang denial of service via request ID prefix matching

CVE-2026-112266 · Severity: medium · CVSS 5.9 · Published 2026-10-19

SGLang is a language model serving framework that handles API requests for text generation. A vulnerability in versions through 0.5.22 allows an attacker to disrupt the service for other users by submitting crafted requests with short identifiers, causing all in-flight generation requests to be aborted. This results in service denial and loss of work for legitimate users.

Technologies: SGLang. Vendors: SGLang.

Technical details

The vulnerability exists in the request abort logic within SGLang's scheduler, which uses prefix-matching on client-supplied request IDs (rid) instead of exact matching. An attacker can submit a streaming /generate request with a single hex character rid and immediately disconnect, triggering the prefix-match logic to terminate all other clients' requests whose IDs share that prefix. This requires network access to the API endpoint but no authentication or special privileges.
