CVE-2026-90553: vLLM before 0.28.0 Remote Code Execution via LlavaOnevision2 processor

Published Sep 12, 2026
·
Updated

vLLM before 0.28.0 contains a remote code execution vulnerability in the LlavaOnevision2 processor loader that ignores the trustremotecode parameter when loading remote processor classes. Attackers can craft a malicious model with arbitrary code in processingllavaonevision2.py that executes with vLLM process authority even when trustremotecode is set to False.

Frequently Asked Questions

1

Who is exposed to exploitation?

Deployments using vLLM versions before 0.28.0 that load a LlavaOnevision2 model from an untrusted source are exposed. The malicious processor code runs with the authority of the vLLM process.

2

Does setting trust_remote_code to False prevent exploitation?

No. The vulnerable LlavaOnevision2 processor loader ignores the trust_remote_code setting when loading remote processor classes.

3

What must an attacker provide to exploit this issue?

An attacker needs to induce use of a crafted malicious model containing arbitrary code in processing_llava_onevision2.py. Exploitation requires user interaction according to the supplied vector, such as selecting or loading that model.

4

What is the available remediation?

Upgrade vLLM to version 0.28.0 or later. If upgrading cannot happen immediately, avoid loading untrusted LlavaOnevision2 models, since trust_remote_code=False is not an effective mitigation for this processor loader.
