{"schemaVersion":3,"id":"GHSA-GGPF-24JW-3FCW","aliases":[],"status":"published","duplicateOf":null,"title":null,"description":"CVE-2025-24357 Malicious model remote code execution fix bypass with PyTorch < 2.6.0\n\n## Description\n\nhttps://github.com/vllm-project/vllm/security/advisories/GHSA-rh4j-5rhw-hr54 reported a vulnerability where loading a malicious model could result in code execution on the vllm host. The fix applied to specify `weights_only=True` to calls to `torch.load()` did not solve the problem prior to PyTorch 2.6.0.\n\nPyTorch has issued a new CVE about this problem: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-53q9-r3pm-6pq6\n\nThis means that versions of vLLM using PyTorch before 2.6.0 are vulnerable to this problem.\n## Background Knowledge\nWhen users install VLLM according to the official manual\n![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/d17e0bdb-26f2-46d6-adf6-0b17e5ddf5c7)\n\nBut the version of PyTorch is specified in the requirements. txt file\n![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/94aad622-ad6d-4741-b772-c342727c58c7)\n\nSo by default when the user install VLLM, it will install the PyTorch with version 2.5.1\n![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/04ff31b0-aad1-490a-963d-00fda91da47b)\n\nIn CVE-2025-24357, weights_only=True was used for patching, but we know this is not secure.\nBecause we found that using Weights_only=True in pyTorch before 2.5.1 was unsafe\n\nHere, we use this interface to prove that it is not safe.\n![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/0d86efcd-2aad-42a2-8ac6-cc96b054c925)\n\n\n## Fix\nupdate PyTorch version to 2.6.0\n\n## Credit\nThis vulnerability was found By Ji'an Zhou and Li'shuo Song","dates":{"published":"2025-04-23T02:26:06.000Z","modified":"2026-08-07T08:12:20.513Z","reserved":null,"kevAdded":[],"kevDue":[]},"cvss":{"headline":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","version":"3.1","versionLabel":"v3.1","source":"OSV · Pypi","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","computed":true,"selection":"version-preference"},"metrics":[{"version":"3.1","versionLabel":"v3.1","source":"OSV · Pypi","score":9.8,"severity":"critical","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","exploitability":10,"impact":9.8,"computed":true}]},"epss":{"probability":null,"percentile":null,"severity":"unknown","asOf":null,"change":{"pp":null,"baselineDate":null,"baselineScore":null},"history":[],"last30":[]},"kev":{"state":"not-listed","entries":[],"listedCount":0,"totalCatalogs":3,"catalogs":[{"source":"cisa","label":"CISA","listed":false,"entry":null},{"source":"enisa","label":"ENISA","listed":false,"entry":null},{"source":"circl","label":"CIRCL","listed":false,"entry":null}]},"ransomware":{"state":"none-recorded","sources":[]},"exploits":[],"exploitCount":0,"weaknesses":[],"affected":[{"vendor":"PyPI","product":"vllm","name":"vllm","label":"vllm","ecosystem":"PyPI","cpePart":null,"purl":"pkg:pypi/vllm","purlType":"pypi","versions":[{"text":"< 0.8.0","noFixRecorded":false,"fixedIn":null}],"versionsText":"< 0.8.0","eol":null,"hubHref":null}],"affectedCount":1,"eol":{"hasEol":false,"count":0},"references":[{"url":"https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/security/advisories/GHSA-53q9-r3pm-6pq6","label":"github.com/pytorch/pytorch/security/advisories/GHSA-53q9-r3pm-6pq6","hostname":"github.com","tags":["WEB"]},{"url":"https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm/security/advisories/GHSA-ggpf-24jw-3fcw","label":"github.com/vllm-project/vllm/security/advisories/GHSA-ggpf-24jw-3fcw","hostname":"github.com","tags":["WEB"]},{"url":"https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm/security/advisories/GHSA-rh4j-5rhw-hr54","label":"github.com/vllm-project/vllm/security/advisories/GHSA-rh4j-5rhw-hr54","hostname":"github.com","tags":["WEB"]},{"url":"https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm","label":"github.com/vllm-project/vllm","hostname":"github.com","tags":["PACKAGE"]}],"lineage":{"upstream":[],"downstream":[],"duplicates":[],"related":["CGA-RJCP-MPR8-5676"]},"timeline":[{"kind":"published","date":"2025-04-23T02:26:06.000Z","label":"Published","detail":"Vulnerability first disclosed.","source":null},{"kind":"modified","date":"2026-08-07T08:12:20.513Z","label":"Last modified","detail":"Vulnerability information updated.","source":null}],"risk":{"score":70,"level":"high","profile":"Default","thresholds":{"critical":75,"high":50,"medium":25,"low":10}},"meta":{"dataAsOf":"2026-10-21T19:35:08.125Z","stale":false,"partial":false}}
