CVE-2026-7301: Critical severity SGLangs SGLangs multimodal generation runtime scheduler vulnerability

Published May 18, 2026
·
Updated

SGLangs multimodal generation runtime scheduler's ROUTER socket binds to 0.0.0.0 by default and contains a sink that calls pickle.loads() on incoming messages, enabling RCE when exposed to the internet.

Affected Software

2 affected components
SGLangs SGLangs multimodal generation runtime scheduler
Lmsys Sglang=0.5.10

Remediation

Recommended actions to resolve this vulnerability, in priority order.

  1. Configuration

    Change the ROUTER socket binding from the default 0.0.0.0 to a non-internet-facing interface so it is not exposed externally.

    SGLangs multimodal generation runtime scheduler ROUTER socket bind address = bind only to a non-public interface (not 0.0.0.0)
  2. Compensating control

    Restrict network access so the SGLangs multimodal generation runtime scheduler’s ROUTER socket is not reachable from the internet (e.g., block inbound traffic at the firewall/ACL and allow only trusted internal hosts).

  3. Operational

    Restart the SGLangs service after changing the ROUTER socket bind configuration and ensure the scheduler is not exposed externally during restart.
