Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

vLLM versions before 0.30.0 are vulnerable. The Rust frontend's HTTP metrics middleware records the raw HTTP method as a Prometheus label, so an unauthenticated attacker can send many unique method tokens to routes such as /tokenize. This grows process memory and the /metrics response until the service or monitoring is exhausted. Upgrade to vLLM 0.30.0 or later.
