CWE-502Published: January 27, 2024· Updated: Jun 17, 2026
Official Description
A vulnerability was found in flink-extended ai-flow 0.3.1. It has been declared as critical. Affected by this vulnerability is the function cloudpickle.loads of the file \ai_flow\cli\commands\workflow_command.py. The manipulation leads to deserialization. The attack can be launched remotely. The complexity of an attack is rather high. The exploitation appears to be difficult. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. The identifier VDB-252205 was assigned to this vulnerability.
Risk Analysis
Flink-extended ai-flow 0.3.1 contains a deserialization vulnerability in its workflow command component. Despite the high CVSS score of 9.8, the complexity of the attack is noted as high, making exploitation difficult.
No public exploit is known, and it is not in the CISA KEV catalog. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable.
Upgrade to a patched version of ai-flow. Implement input validation for deserialization processes to prevent arbitrary code execution.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2024-0960 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.
From a weakness classification perspective (CWE-502): Insecure deserialization vulnerabilities allow attackers to inject malicious objects during deserialization, potentially enabling remote code execution.
