CVE-2026-47161 Details
Description
RELATE is a web-based courseware package. Prior to commit d66ba5659b459bf1ba56b7109b5f9ecf197cbefb, RELATE LMS configures its Celery workers to accept and deserialize untrusted 'pickle' data. An attacker who can reach the message broker can execute arbitrary commands on the host server. Combined with missing network isolation in the code execution sandbox, this allows an authenticated student to achieve full Remote Code Execution (RCE) on the host system. Commit d66ba5659b459bf1ba56b7109b5f9ecf197cbefb fixes the issue.
A remote code execution vulnerability exists in RELATE LMS versions prior to 2026.1. The issue arises because the application configures Celery workers to accept and deserialize untrusted 'pickle' data. An authenticated student can exploit this by sending a crafted pickle payload through the message broker, leading to the execution of arbitrary commands on the host server. This vulnerability is exacerbated by a lack of network isolation in the code execution sandbox, allowing the exploitation to occur remotely.
Users can update to RELATE version 2026.1 or later, where this vulnerability has been fixed.
