Once the profiling service is running it is unauthenticated network-reachable pickle RCE (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N, C/I/A:H); the non-default flag is a deployment gate not captured by base metrics, so AC stays L.

CRITICAL 9.3

DescriptionCVE.org

LightLLM through 1.2.0 contains a remote code execution vulnerability in the router profiler service when started with --enable_profiling flag. The service exposes an unauthenticated RPyC server with pickle deserialization enabled, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary code by sending crafted serialized objects to the profiler command queue.

AnalysisAI

Remote code execution in LightLLM through 1.2.0 allows unauthenticated attackers to run arbitrary code on the host when the server is launched with the --enable_profiling flag, because that flag starts a router profiler service that exposes an RPyC listener with pickle deserialization enabled and no authentication (CVSS 4.0 base 9.3; CWE-502). The flaw is not reachable in a default deployment since profiling must be explicitly enabled, but once it is on, any network-reachable attacker can push crafted serialized objects onto the profiler command queue and gain high-integrity, high-availability code execution without credentials or user interaction (PR:N/UI:N). …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires LightLLM (version ≤1.2.0) to be started with the --enable_profiling flag, which activates the router profiler service; this flag is NOT enabled by default, so a stock deployment is not exposed via this path. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment This is a genuine high-priority issue rather than an inflated CVSS score, but its real-world blast radius is gated by one deployment condition. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation No vendor-released patch or fixed version is identified in the available data, so the most effective immediate mitigation is to stop launching LightLLM with the --enable_profiling flag; this removes the unauthenticated RPyC listener entirely and eliminates the vulnerable attack surface, at the cost of losing profiler telemetry for that deployment. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, inventory all LightLLM deployments and immediately stop or restart any instance running LightLLM 1.2.0 or earlier with the --enable_profiling flag so the RPyC profiler listener is not active; if profiling must remain temporarily enabled, block all network access to the profiler/RPyC port at the host firewall and network perimeter and restrict access to trusted management networks only. …
