CVE-2026-112268: sglang sgl-model-gateway authorization bypass in mesh HA routes

CVE-2026-112268 · Severity: medium · CVSS 6.3 · Published 2026-10-19

sgl-model-gateway is a model serving gateway for distributed AI inference that manages cluster topology and failover when mesh high-availability (HA) is enabled. Holders of the data-plane API key can bypass authorization controls on mesh HA management endpoints, allowing them to read cluster topology, modify global rate limits, and force the mesh cluster to disconnect, disrupting service availability.

Vendors: Sgl-Project.

Technical details

The /ha/* endpoints in sgl-model-gateway versions through 0.3.2 are protected only by data-plane API key authentication, not by control-plane Admin role checks. An attacker with a data-plane API key can access mesh HA management routes to read cluster state, write gossiped configuration, modify global rate limits, and invoke POST /ha/shutdown to dissolve HA coordination. This is a CWE-863 authorization bypass that affects deployments with --enable-mesh and --control-plane-api-keys enabled.
