Unauthenticated code execution via ZMQ pickle deserialization
Published Mar 12, 2026 · Updated Mar 12, 2026
Deserialization of untrusted data in SGLang 0.5.5 through 0.5.9 allows remote attackers to execute code through its ZMQ broker. The multimodal-generation broker binds a REP socket to every interface and passes each received payload to pickle.loads() without authentication or validation. Exploitation requires the multimodal-generation server and network access to its broker port; code runs with the SGLang process's privileges.
