CVSS v3.1

Official Description

GPT Academic upload Deserialization of Untrusted Data Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of GPT Academic. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.

The specific flaw exists within the upload endpoint. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in deserialization of untrusted data. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of root. Was ZDI-CAN-27957.

Risk Analysis

GPT Academic contains a critical deserialization vulnerability in its upload endpoint, enabling unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary code as root. This vulnerability poses a high risk due to the lack of authentication requirements.

No public exploit is known, and it is not in the CISA KEV. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable.

Recommended Action

Update GPT Academic to a version beyond 3.91 to address the deserialization flaw.

Generated by the CTIWATCH analysis pipeline from this CVE's metadata (CVSS, EPSS, KEV status, exploit intelligence). Verify against vendor advisories before acting.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2026-0764 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.
