GHSA-36m8-w8qf-g76p — sglang
CRITICALGHSA-36m8-w8qf-g76p is a critical-severity (CVSS 9.8) Deserialization of Untrusted Data vulnerability in sglang. No vendor fix is recorded yet; mitigation options are listed below.
SGLang: Unauthenticated RCE via --enable-custom-logit-processor
Exploitation Status
No confirmed exploitation observed yet
- CISA assesses this as automatable — exploitation doesn’t require manual, per-target effort, which raises the odds of mass scanning and opportunistic attacks.
- A successful exploit gives an attacker total control of the affected component, not partial access.
- CISA’s own triage has not observed active exploitation or public proof-of-concept code for this CVE as of its last assessment.

Real-World Exposure
sglangReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects PyPI packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
SGLang's multimodal generation runtime is vulnerable to unauthenticated remote code execution when the --enable-custom-logit-processor option is enabled, as Python objects loaded via dill.loads() will be deserialized without validation.

sglanglmsysDetection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for sglang, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Remediation status
No patched version of sglang has shipped for GHSA-36m8-w8qf-g76p yet. Where your build allows, override or pin the dependency away from the vulnerable range, and apply any maintainer-recommended mitigation.
Mitigate without a patch
Do not deserialise data from untrusted sources: where the format allows it, restrict deserialisation to an explicit allowlist of expected types, and prefer a data-only format (JSON, Protobuf) over one that can reconstruct arbitrary objects until you can upgrade.
