CVE-2023-52314: PaddlePaddle command injection in convert_shape_compare
PaddlePaddle before 2.6.0 has a command injection in convertshapecompare.
CVSS 9.6 Critical EPSS 1.2% · p67
Should you act?
Critical and remotely reachable
No known exploitation yet, but it is network-reachable without credentials. This signal is computed from CISA KEV, EPSS and CVSS data; it is not an editorial verdict.
- Not in CISA KEV, but CISA’s SSVC assessment records a public proof-of-concept, so attack code exists.
- EPSS 1.2%, percentile 67: FIRST’s model estimates a 1.2% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 67% of all scored CVEs (moderate). EPSS is a probability, not a verdict.
- Needs a user to click or open something. Phishing makes that realistic, but it is not wormable.
- Only applies if your dependency tree includes
PaddlePaddle(PyPI) < 2.6.0, fixed in 2.6.0. Check your lockfile, including transitive dependencies.
What it is
PaddlePaddle before 2.6.0 has a command injection in convertshapecompare. This resulted in the ability to execute arbitrary commands on the operating system.

CVSS measures how bad a flaw is if exploited, not how likely exploitation is. Read it next to the exploitation data below.
Exploitation and urgency
- CISA KEV: not listed (no confirmed in-the-wild exploitation known to CISA).
- CISA SSVC assessment: exploitation poc, automatable no, technical impact total.
- FIRST EPSS (model of 2026-10-21): 1.18% probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days; percentile 67.
