GHSA-w6q7-j642-7c25: vLLM has a Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS, Exponential Complexity) Vulnerability in `pythonic_tool_parser.py`

May 28, 2025

A Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) vulnerability exists in the file vllm/entrypoints/openai/tool_parsers/pythonic_tool_parser.py of the vLLM project. The root cause is the use of a highly complex and nested regular expression for tool call detection, which can be exploited by an attacker to cause severe performance degradation or make the service unavailable.
