What is CVE-2026-31224?
CVE-2026-31224 is a high-severity unsafe deserialization vulnerability in n/a, published on 12 May 2026. 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
The snorkel library thru v0.10.0 contains an insecure deserialization vulnerability (CWE-502) in the MultitaskClassifier.load() method of the MultitaskClassifier class. The method loads model weight files using torch.load() without enabling the security-restrictive weights_only=True parameter. This default behavior allows the deserialization of arbitrary Python objects via the Pickle module. A remote attacker can exploit this by providing a maliciously crafted model file, leading to arbitrary code execution on the victim's system when the file is loaded via the vulnerable method.
Weakness: CWE-502
