Horovod Vulnerable to Command Injection

Critical severity GitHub Reviewed Published Mar 20, 2025 to the GitHub Advisory Database • Updated Mar 20, 2025

Package

pip horovod (pip)

Affected versions

<= 0.28.1

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.
