PyTorch is a Python package that provides tensor computation. Prior to version 2.10.0, a vulnerability in PyTorch's `weights_only` unpickler allows an attacker to craft a malicious checkpoint file (`.pth`) that, when loaded with `torch.load(..., weights_only=True)`, can corrupt memory and potentially lead to arbitrary code execution. Version 2.10.0 fixes the issue.

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 7.02, has pytorch packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability:

  - PyTorch is a Python package that provides tensor computation. Prior to version 2.10.0, a vulnerability in     PyTorch's `weights_only` unpickler allows an attacker to craft a malicious checkpoint file (`.pth`) that,     when loaded with `torch.load(..., weights_only=True)`, can corrupt memory and potentially lead to     arbitrary code execution. Version 2.10.0 fixes the issue. (CVE-2026-24747)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

  - PyTorch is a Python package that provides tensor computation. Prior to version 2.10.0, a vulnerability in
    PyTorch's `weights_only` unpickler allows an attacker to craft a malicious checkpoint file (`.pth`) that,
