What is CVE-2024-48063?

The RemoteModule feature in PyTorch versions up to 2.4.1 is subject to a deserialization vulnerability, potentially allowing for remote code execution. This issue has sparked dispute among users regarding its intended behavior within PyTorch’s distributed computing capabilities. While some parties highlight the risk of exploitation, others argue it is an inherent functionality of the framework. Developers utilizing PyTorch for distributed applications should thoroughly assess their implementations and consider the security implications of remote deserialization.
