Authenticated host RCE via Celery pickle deserialization
Published May 27, 2026 · Updated May 27, 2026
Unsafe deserialization in Celery workers in inducer RELATE before 2026.1 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary host commands. The Celery settings accept pickle-encoded tasks, causing workers to invoke attacker-controlled reduce payloads received through the broker. An authenticated student can reach the broker from a code-execution container because course.page.code.request_run does not disable container networking, enabling full host compromise.
