CVE-2026-4944

Summary

vllm-project/vllm version 0.14.1 contains a vulnerability where the trust_remote_code=True parameter is hardcoded in two model implementation files (vllm/model_executor/models/nemotron_vl.py and vllm/model_executor/models/kimi_k25.py). This bypasses the user's explicit --trust-remote-code=False setting, enabling remote code execution via malicious HuggingFace model repositories. This issue is an incomplete fix for CVE-2025-66448 and CVE-2026-22807, as it affects separate code paths in model implementation files. Deployments loading NemotronVL or KimiK25 models are particularly impacted.
