CVE-2024-0815Public exploit

Local command execution via shell-invoked wget

Published Mar 7, 2024 · Updated Feb 13, 2025

Command injection in PaddlePaddle 2.6.0 and earlier allows local users to execute arbitrary commands through a crafted download URL. The paddle.utils.download._wget_download function interpolates the supplied URL and output path into a wget command and launches it with subprocess.Popen using shell=True. The caller must reach the wget download method with controlled input; successful exploitation runs commands with the privileges of the hosting Python process.
