How to Fix CVE-2023-38678
To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected PaddlePaddle dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.
pip install PaddlePaddle>=2.6.0Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:
pip show PaddlePaddleHow to Check if You Are Affected
To determine whether your Python environment is affected by CVE-2023-38678, inspect your installed packages using pip:
pip show PaddlePaddleAnalyze the terminal output to locate any version of PaddlePaddle in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 2.6.0), your application is affected.
Note: The pip show PaddlePaddle command checks currently installed packages in your active Python environment.
