CVE-2026-108961 Details
Description
A flaw has been found in PaddlePaddle PaddleX up to 3.7.2. Affected by this vulnerability is the function NormalizeImage.__init__ of the file paddlex/inference/models/text_detection/processors.py of the component Preprocessor. This manipulation of the argument scale causes code injection. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The pull request to fix this issue awaits acceptance.
A code injection vulnerability has been identified in PaddlePaddle PaddleX versions through 3.7.2. The issue arises in the NormalizeImage initialization function within the text detection preprocessing model. The vulnerability allows for arbitrary code execution by manipulating the 'scale' argument, which is then evaluated using Python's 'eval()' function without proper validation. This exploitation can be executed remotely, and the injected code can be crafted to return a benign value, evading detection. The vulnerability also affects PaddleOCR 3.x, which relies on the vulnerable version of PaddleX.
Users can update to PaddleX version 3.7.3 or later, where this vulnerability has been addressed. Instructions for updating can be found in the PaddleX documentation.
