Description
Aeon load_rehab_pile_dataset Deserialization of Untrusted Data Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Aeon. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.

The specific flaw exists within the load_rehab_pile_dataset method. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in deserialization of untrusted data. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-28749.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability lies in the deserialization of untrusted data within the load_rehab_pile_dataset method of Aeon. This flaw permits a remote attacker, by providing malicious input, to execute arbitrary code in the context of the target process. The lack of proper validation allows the unsafe processing of user-supplied data, leading to potential breach of confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Affected Systems

Aeon functions built on the aeon:aeon platform are affected by this issue. The description does not specify exact version numbers, so any installation that includes the load_rehab_pile_dataset method may be vulnerable.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.8 indicates a high severity. Exploitation requires user interaction, such as visiting a malicious page or opening a malicious file, so the attack vector is likely client‑side rather than network‑side. The EPSS score is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in KEV, so current exploitation likelihood is uncertain. However, any environment where the affected method processes external input presents a critical real‑world risk for remote code execution.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Contact Aeon support or check the Aeon repository for a patch addressing the deserialization flaw.
  • If no patch is pending, restrict or disable the load_rehab_pile_dataset function from processing untrusted data until a fix is released.
  • Ensure users avoid browsing or opening potentially malicious files that could trigger the vulnerable method.
