CVE-2024-48063

Status: AnalyzedCritical (9.8)—

In PyTorch <=2.4.1, the RemoteModule has Deserialization RCE. NOTE: this is disputed by multiple parties because this is intended behavior in PyTorch distributed computing.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).

🎯 ATT&CK techniques

How this vulnerability is exploited and what the attacker gains, in MITRE ATT&CK terms.

Red sin privilegios (AV:N/PR:N) permite explotación de aplicación expuesta; deserialización insegura (CWE-502) en RemoteModule permite ejecución arbitraria de código.

Inferred by our analysis agent from the official description, CVSS vector and CWE, and checked by a supervisor. May contain errors.
