CVE-2026-108961 PaddlePaddle CVE debrief

Who should care

Defenders responsible for PaddleX deployments should assess exposure and prioritize verification of affected versions. They should also review compensating controls for exposed systems while remediation is scheduled and verified. Additionally, defenders should check relevant monitoring, detection, and logs for exposed assets that need extra review. Security teams should track exceptions, retest remediated assets, and close the item only after evidence is

Why it matters

Defenders should prioritize verifying PaddleX versions up to 3.7.2 and assessing remote attack feasibility due to the code injection vulnerability.

• Verify affected PaddleX versions in inventory
• Assess feasibility of remote code injection attacks
• Monitor for fix acceptance and implement compensating controls if necessary

Technical summary

The NormalizeImage.__init__ function in PaddlePaddle PaddleX versions up to 3.7.2 is vulnerable to code injection. This issue is exploitable remotely, allowing attackers to inject malicious code. The vulnerability affects PaddleX deployments, and defenders should prioritize verifying affected versions and assessing the feasibility of remote attacks. The technical impact is significant, as it allows for potential code execution on affected systems. Defenders should review the supplied official advisory or CVE record to validate affected scope, severity, and vendor guidance.

Defensive priority

Defenders should prioritize verifying the affected versions of PaddleX in their inventory and assessing the feasibility of remote attacks on their systems.

Recommended defensive actions

• Verify PaddleX versions in inventory
• Assess remote attack feasibility
• Monitor for pending fix acceptance
• Implement compensating controls for exposed systems
• Review relevant monitoring, detection, and logs for exposed assets
• Track exceptions and retest remediated assets
• Confirm whether affected product deployments exist in managed environments and assign an owner for follow-up

Evidence notes

The CVE record and source item provide details about the vulnerability, including its existence in PaddleX versions up to 3.7.2 and the affected function NormalizeImage.__init__. However, information about exploitation, impact, and remediation is limited.
