People seem very confused about this article. It isn't talking about exploits of sandboxes, it is about attacking the inference engine (e.g. vLLM or llama.cpp or SGlang) via its http interface.

vLLM has had exploits in the past, and it is rapidly developing. An advanced LLM has a good chance of being able to exploit vLLM. A clever local LLM might even task a powerful cloud hosted LLM for assistance.

For this reason we run vLLM on a separately sandboxed VM on a firewalled VLAN. Software updates and models (from Dev/Test env) get pushed onto Prod from an external cache, machine syslog, nvidia load monitoring and vLLM query telemetry out to their loggers, but that is all. No DNS, no AD/LDAP, nothing. Firewall on hosts and VM hosts. Log and telemetry processing done on a completely separate set of VMs in their own isolated subnet, producing reports and alerts that are tightly formatted.
