CRITICAL 9.8EPSS 1.10%

Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.10%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

Horovod versions up to and including v0.28.1 are vulnerable to unauthenticated remote code execution. The vulnerability is due to improper handling of base64-encoded data in the `ElasticRendezvousHandler`, a subclass of `KVStoreHandler`. Specifically, the `_put_value` method in `ElasticRendezvousHandler` calls `codec.loads_base64(value)`, which eventually invokes `cloudpickle.loads(decoded)`. This allows an attacker to send a malicious pickle object via a PUT request, leading to arbitrary code execution on the server.
