Code execution via untrusted workflow deserialization
Published Jan 27, 2024 · Updated Jun 2, 2025
Deserialization in AIFlow 0.3.1 allows remote attackers to execute code through a crafted serialized workflow object. The show_workflow command retrieves workflow.workflow_object and passes it directly to cloudpickle.loads without validating its source or contents. Exploitation requires a crafted object to reach workflow storage and a user to invoke the show command; successful unpickling runs attacker-controlled code with the CLI process's privileges.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
