CVE-2026-26220
LightLLM <= 1.1.0 PD Mode Unsafe Deserialization RCE
Description

LightLLM version 1.1.0 and prior contain an unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability in PD (prefill-decode) disaggregation mode. The PD master node exposes WebSocket endpoints that receive binary frames and pass the data directly to pickle.loads() without authentication or validation. A remote attacker who can reach the PD master can send a crafted payload to achieve arbitrary code execution.
