Doc Text:
A flaw was found in the Adversarial Robustness Toolbox (ART), specifically within its Kubeflow component. The robustness evaluation function for PyTorch models uses the `eval()` function to dynamically evaluate user-supplied strings for the LossFn and Optimizer parameters without proper sanitization. A remote attacker can exploit this by providing a specially crafted string containing arbitrary Python code, leading to remote code execution and complete compromise of the system running the ART evaluation.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-05-12 16:02:16 UTC 
The Adversarial Robustness Toolbox (ART) thru 1.20.1 contains a remote code execution vulnerability in its Kubeflow component. The robustness evaluation function for PyTorch models uses the unsafe eval() function to dynamically evaluate user-supplied strings for the LossFn and Optimizer parameters without any sanitization or security restrictions. An attacker can exploit this by providing a specially crafted string that contains arbitrary Python code, which will be executed when eval() is called, leading to complete compromise of the system running the ART evaluation.
