## What is CVE-2024-6577?

CVE-2024-6577 is a medium-severity vulnerability in pytorch/serve, published on 20 Mar 2025. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.

### Official description

In the latest version of pytorch/serve, the script 'upload_results_to_s3.sh' references the S3 bucket 'benchmarkai-metrics-prod' without ensuring its ownership or confirming its accessibility. This could lead to potential security vulnerabilities or unauthorized access to the bucket if it is not properly secured or claimed by the appropriate entity. The issue may result in data breaches, exposure of proprietary information, or unauthorized modifications to stored data.

Weakness: CWE-840

What it is: CVE-2024-6577 is a medium-severity vulnerability in pytorch/serve, published on 20 Mar 2025. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.
Exploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2024-6577 exists.

Affected packages and fixed versions:
- torchserve (PyPI): affected all versions up to 0.11.0; no fix listed
- torchserve (PyPI): affected all versions up to 0.11.0; no fix listed
- torchserve (PyPI): affected all versions up to 0.11.0; no fix listed

Task:
1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.
2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
