Impact

A flaw in the WeightExporter.send_weights_to_remote_instance method of sgl-project's SGLang lets an attacker craft a group_name argument that causes the exporter to terminate or become stuck, rendering the component unavailable. The weakness is a missing resource cleanup or bounds check, categorized as CWE-404, and results in a remote denial of service when the manipulated argument is processed.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects the SGLang project by sgl-project, specifically versions up to 0.5.19. It is located in the weight_exporter.py file within the Weight Exporter component and impacts any deployment that enables remote weight exporting.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.9 signals a medium‑high severity. EPSS data is not available and the issue is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog, but an exploit is publicly released and can be launched remotely without credentials. An attacker can trigger the denial of service from anywhere by sending a crafted request to a remote instance, making the flaw both actionable and potentially disruptive.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the vendor-supplied patch once the pull request is merged and upgrade SGLang to a version newer than 0.5.19.
  • Disable the remote weight export feature if it is not required for your environment to stop the attack surface.
  • Add validation or sanitization for the group_name parameter, or enforce rate limiting on the send_weights_to_remote_instance endpoint to mitigate repeated denial of service attempts.
