Description

SGLang through 0.5.19 in prefill/decode disaggregation mode contains an unauthenticated PUT /route endpoint on the prefill bootstrap service that allows attackers to poison the KV transfer routing table. Attackers can supply arbitrary rank_ip and rank_port values to redirect decode workers to attacker-controlled endpoints, causing denial of service or disclosure of KV transfer metadata including session identifiers and tensor-parallel topology parameters.
