Overview

paddlepaddle is a Parallel Distributed Deep Learning

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection') via the _wget_download function, due to the url parameter being incorporated into the command string without proper validation or sanitization. An attacker can execute arbitrary code by injecting malicious input into the code generation routine.

PoC

from paddle import utils
utils.download._wget_download("aa; touch codexecution", "bb")
