Summary
PyTorch Vulnerable to Remote Code Execution via Untrusted Checkpoint Files
Details

PyTorch is a Python package that provides tensor computation. Prior to version 2.10.0, a vulnerability in PyTorch's weights_only unpickler allows an attacker to craft a malicious checkpoint file (.pth) that, when loaded with torch.load(..., weights_only=True), can corrupt memory and potentially lead to arbitrary code execution. Version 2.10.0 fixes the issue.
