CVE-2024-50050Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Remote code execution via pickle socket deserialization

Published Oct 23, 2024 · Updated Oct 24, 2024

Deserialization of untrusted data in Meta Platforms Llama Stack 0.0.40 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute code. The Meta Reference inference implementation passes ZeroMQ message bytes to pickle.loads through recv_pyobj without validating their object-reconstruction behavior. Exploitation requires network access to the internal ZeroMQ socket, and injected code runs with the privileges of the Llama Stack server process.
