SCA: security update for vllm (GHSA-v359-jj2v-j536)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 438530

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - vLLM is an inference and serving engine for large language models (LLMs). The SSRF protection fix for
 CVE-2026-24779 add in 0.15.1 can be bypassed in the load_from_url_async method due to inconsistent URL
 parsing behavior between the validation layer and the actual HTTP client. The SSRF fix uses
 urllib3.util.parse_url() to validate and extract the hostname from user-provided URLs. However,
 load_from_url_async uses aiohttp for making the actual HTTP requests, and aiohttp internally uses the yarl
 library for URL parsing. This vulnerability in 0.17.0. (CVE-2026-25960)

Solution

Update the vllm library and its related packages to version 0.17.0 or later.
