Title
vLLM allows clients to crash the openai server with invalid regex
Summary
vLLM is an inference and serving engine for large language models (LLMs). Version 0.8.0 up to but excluding 0.9.0 have a Denial of Service (ReDoS) that causes the vLLM server to crash if an invalid regex was provided while using structured output. This vulnerability is similar to GHSA-6qc9-v4r8-22xg/CVE-2025-48942, but for regex instead of a JSON schema. Version 0.9.0 fixes the issue.
