CVE-2024-8939

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: ilab model serve component (affected versions not specified)

Description: A vulnerability was found in the ilab model serve component, where improper handling of the best of parameter in the vllm JSON web API can lead to a Denial of Service (DoS). The API used for LLM-based sentence or chat completion accepts a best of parameter to return the best completion from several options. When this parameter is set to a large value, the API does not handle timeouts or resource exhaustion properly, allowing an attacker to cause a DoS by consuming excessive system resources. This leads to the API becoming unresponsive, preventing legitimate users from accessing the service.

Recommendations: At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
