SGLang through 0.5.19 in prefill/decode disaggregation mode with Mooncake KV transfer backend fails to validate bootstrap_room values, allowing unbounded transfer state allocation. Unauthenticated attackers can reach the decode engine's POST /generate endpoint and submit arbitrary bootstrap_room values to exhaust prefill process memory until out-of-memory termination.
