SCA: security update for ludwig (GHSA-wcr3-gm9f-f87q)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 446812

Description

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

 - The Ludwig framework thru 0.10.4 is vulnerable to insecure deserialization (CWE-502) through its predict()
 method. When a user provides a dataset file path to the predict() method, the framework automatically
 determines the file format. If the file is a pickle (.pkl) file, it is loaded using pandas.read_pickle()
 without any validation or security restrictions. This allows the deserialization of arbitrary Python
 objects via the unsafe pickle module. A remote attacker can exploit this by providing a maliciously
 crafted pickle file, leading to arbitrary code execution on the system running the Ludwig prediction.
 (CVE-2026-31237)
