# CVE-2026-116176: vLLM 0.9.2 before 0.24.0 SSRF via X-Request-Id in P2pNcclConnector

Status: published. Published: 2026-10-25. Updated: 2026-11-04.

vLLM from 0.9.2 before 0.24.0 contains a server-side request forgery vulnerability that allows API callers to force outbound connections by embedding a decode address in the X-Request-Id header. Attackers can make a P2pNcclConnector prefill worker ZMQ-connect to an attacker host, leaking the NCCL unique_id and KV-cache tensors or blocking the worker.
