What is CVE-2023-47631?

CVE-2023-47631 is a high-severity vulnerability in vantage6, published on 14 Nov 2023. An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.

Official description

vantage6 is a framework to manage and deploy privacy enhancing technologies like Federated Learning (FL) and Multi-Party Computation (MPC). In affected versions a node does not check if an image is allowed to run if a `parent_id` is set. A malicious party that breaches the server may modify it to set a fake `parent_id` and send a task of a non-whitelisted algorithm. The node will then execute it because the `parent_id` that is set prevents checks from being run. This impacts all servers that are breached by an expert user. This vulnerability has been patched in version 4.1.2. All users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.

Weakness: CWE-345
