CVE-2026-27893

vLLM's hardcoded trust_remote_code=True in NemotronVL and KimiK25 bypasses user security opt-out

Published Mar 26, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 8.8 High EPSS 1.4% KEV · Not listed
Description
vLLM is an inference and serving engine for large language models (LLMs). Starting in version 0.10.1 and prior to version 0.18.0, two model implementation files hardcode `trust_remote_code=True` when loading sub-components, bypassing the user's explicit `--trust-remote-code=False` security opt-out. This enables remote code execution via malicious model repositories even when the user has explicitly disabled remote code trust. Version 0.18.0 patches the issue.
