SCA: security update for vllm (GHSA-7972-pg2x-xr59)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 439358

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). 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. (CVE-2026-27893)

Solution

Update the vllm library and its related packages to version 0.18.0 or later.
