How to Fix CVE-2026-7304

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected SGLang dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

sglang fixed: Latest secure release 
pip install sglang>=Latest secure release
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

pip show sglang

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Python environment is affected by CVE-2026-7304, inspect your installed packages using pip:

pip show sglang

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of SGLang in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than the patched release), your application is affected.

Note: The pip show sglang command checks currently installed packages in your active Python environment.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-502: Deserialization of Untrusted Data, where the product deserializes untrusted data without sufficiently ensuring that the resulting data will be valid. In SGLang, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

SGLang's multimodal generation runtime is vulnerable to unauthenticated remote code execution when the --enable-custom-logit-processor option is enabled, as Python objects loaded via dill.loads() will be deserialized without validation.
