# CVE-2024-0521: Code Injection in paddlepaddle

**Signal:** Critical, preconditions apply. Severe if exploited, but exploitation needs conditions that may not apply to you. (Computed from CISA KEV, EPSS and CVSS; not an editorial verdict.)

## Should you act?

- Not in CISA KEV , but CISA’s SSVC assessment records a public proof-of-concept, so attack code exists.
- EPSS 0.5% , percentile 39: FIRST’s model estimates a 0.5% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 39% of all scored CVEs (low). EPSS is a probability, not a verdict.
- Needs local access needed. Lower urgency for most teams unless an attacker could already run code on the machine.
- 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

Code Injection in paddlepaddle/paddle

## Affected packages

- PyPI `paddlepaddle` < 2.6.0 → fixed: 2.6.0

## Affected products (CVE record)

- paddlepaddle paddlepaddle/paddle: unspecified <= latest

## Severity

- @huntr_ai CVSS 3.0: 9.3 `CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H`
- GitHub CVSS 3.1: 9.3 `CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H`

## Exploitation

- 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): 0.46% probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days; percentile 39.
