Attack profile from CVSS 3.1 · CISA ADP. Fix status from CNA. Impact type from CWE-502.
Summary
SGLang from 0 through v0.5.20 is affected. The ZMQ message decoder unpickles PickleWrapper payloads with pickle.loads() without type allowlisting or authentication (CWE-502). The flaw also persists on the msgpack path even when SGLANG_USE_PICKLE_IPC is disabled. An unauthenticated remote attacker can execute arbitrary code when data-parallel attention is enabled with a non-loopback --dist-init-addr setting.

Description from the CNA
SGLang contains an arbitrary code execution vulnerability caused by the ZMQ message decoder unconditionally deserializing PickleWrapper payloads via pickle.loads() in _maybe_unwrap_pickle without type allowlisting or authentication; this vulnerability persists via the msgpack path even when SGLANG_USE_PICKLE_IPC is disabled, and becomes remotely exploitable if data-parallel attention is enabled with a non-loopback --dist-init-addr setting.
