CVE-2024-12044
Remote Code Execution by Pickle Deserialization in open-mmlab/mmdetection
A remote code execution vulnerability exists in open-mmlab/mmdetection version v3.3.0. The vulnerability is due to the use of the pickle.loads() function in the all_reduce_dict() distributed training API without proper sanitization. This allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code by broadcasting a malicious payload to the distributed training network.
