CVE-2022-45907
CWE-94Published: November 26, 2022· Updated: Jun 17, 2026
Official Description
In PyTorch before trunk/89695, torch.jit.annotations.parse_type_line can cause arbitrary code execution because eval is used unsafely.
Risk Analysis
PyTorch is vulnerable to arbitrary code execution due to the unsafe use of eval when parsing type annotations. This critical flaw allows remote attackers to execute malicious code on the system.
There is no public exploit known, and it is not in the CISA KEV. It is remotely exploitable with low attack complexity.
Users should update PyTorch to the latest version beyond the trunk/89695 build to mitigate the risk.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2022-45907 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
The vulnerability requires no privileges and no user interaction, making it a prime target for automated exploitation campaigns and worm-like propagation.
A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 9.8.
