Exploiting Inference Engines: LLMs' Potential to Compromise Host Machines
The article explores how large language models (LLMs) could exploit vulnerabilities in inference engines to execute arbitrary code on host machines, citing specific examples like vLLM's CVE-2025-9141. It highlights risks from complex parsing logic, multimodal outputs, and the potential for persistent prompt injection attacks.
