PyTorch Vulnerable to Remote Code Execution via Untrusted Checkpoint Files

Summary

CVE	CVE-2026-24747
State	PUBLISHED
Assigner	GitHub_M
Source Priority	CVE Program / NVD first with legacy fallback
Published	2026-01-27 22:15:56 UTC
Updated	2026-07-15 02:18:50 UTC
Description	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.
