What is GHSA-M9MP-6X32-5RHG?

GHSA-M9MP-6X32-5RHG is a critical-severity insecure deserialization vulnerability in scio-pypi (pip), affecting versions <= 1.0.0. No fixed version is listed yet. Untrusted serialized data is processed by a deserializer that can instantiate arbitrary objects or execute code as a side effect.

Which versions of scio-pypi are affected by GHSA-M9MP-6X32-5RHG?

scio-pypi (pip) versions <= 1.0.0 is affected.

Is there a fix for GHSA-M9MP-6X32-5RHG?

No fixed version is listed for GHSA-M9MP-6X32-5RHG yet. Monitor the advisory for updates and apply mitigations in the interim.

Is GHSA-M9MP-6X32-5RHG exploitable, and should I be worried?

Whether GHSA-M9MP-6X32-5RHG is exploitable in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable. A CVSS score is a worst-case rating; it does not account for your specific deployment, configuration, or usage patterns. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to show which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so you can focus on the ones that represent real risk.

What actually determines whether GHSA-M9MP-6X32-5RHG is exploitable, and how bad it is?

Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.

How do I fix GHSA-M9MP-6X32-5RHG?

No fixed version is listed yet. In the interim: Avoid deserializing data from untrusted sources. If deserialization is required, use a format that does not support code execution and validate the input strictly.

Summary

scio is vunerable to Remote Command Execution through PyTorch

Workarounds

You can manually check that you are using torch >= 2.6.

Impact

PyTorch reported a critical vulnerability when using torch.load, even with option weights_only=True, for torch <= 2.5.1.

In scio <= 1.0.0, the lower bound for torch is 2.3.

Untrusted serialized data is processed by a deserializer that can instantiate arbitrary objects or execute code as a side effect. Typical impact: arbitrary code execution or logic abuse.

Affected versions

scio-pypi (<= 1.0.0)

Security releases

Not available

Kodem intelligence

Severity tells you how bad this could be in the worst case. It does not tell you whether you are exposed. Exploitability and impact are functions of runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A vulnerable package can sit in your dependency tree and never run.

Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter. Kodem's runtime-powered SCA identifies whether this CVE is reachable in your applications.

Remediation advice

The lower bound was changed to torch >= 2.6, starting from scio >= 1.0.1 (currently in dev state).
