vLLM is an inference and serving engine for large language models. In a multi-node vLLM deployment using the V0 engine, vLLM uses ZeroMQ for some multi-node communication purposes. The secondary vLLM hosts open a ZeroMQ socket and connect to an socket on the primary vLLM host. When data is received on this socket, it is deserialized with . This is unsafe, as it can be abused to execute code on a remote machine. Since the vulnerability exists in a client that connects to the primary vLLM host, this vulnerability serves as an escalation point. If the primary vLLM host is compromised, this vulner

Grounded briefings

Catalog interpretations for three audiences. Each brief cites ingested metadata and the original advisories below. They are not independent research and they do not invent exploit steps.

Executive

CVE-2025-30165 is a high public vulnerability record for vllm-project vllm. It is not currently listed in the CISA Known Exploited catalog. Check the linked vendor or CERT advisories for patch status. This summary is a catalog interpretation of the ingested metadata and cites the original advisories below.

System administrator

Identify whether vllm-project vllm is in your estate, then compare installed versions with the affected ranges. Affected packages or ranges on record: vllm-project vllm 0.5.2, ≤ 0.8.5.post1 (0.5.2, ≤ 0.8.5.post1). Check the linked vendor or CERT advisories for patch status. Prefer the vendor or distribution advisory linked in Sources before changing production systems. This is a catalog interpretation, not a runbook.

Security analyst

Signals on file: CVSS 8.0, EPSS 56.0%. It is not currently listed in the CISA Known Exploited catalog. Sources contributing to this record: euvd. Public exploit references, when present, are outbound links only and are not proof of active exploitation. This is a catalog interpretation of stored metadata.
