ComfyUI v0.23.0 contains an unsafe deserialization vulnerability in the LoadTrainingDataset node that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary Python code by uploading a crafted pickle file and triggering its deserialization. Attackers can upload a malicious shard_*.pkl file via the unauthenticated POST /upload/image endpoint and then queue a workflow graph via POST /prompt referencing the uploaded file, causing torch.load to deserialize the attacker-controlled pickle payload using __reduce__ and execute arbitrary commands as the ComfyUI process user.

AnalysisAI
Remote code execution in ComfyUI v0.23.0 (and all prior 0.x releases) lets unauthenticated attackers run arbitrary Python by abandoning the LoadTrainingDataset node to torch.load a malicious pickle. Because the upload and prompt-queue endpoints require no authentication, an attacker who can reach the web interface can upload a crafted shard_*.pkl file and trigger deserialization to execute commands as the ComfyUI process user. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires that the target run ComfyUI 0.23.0 or earlier with its HTTP API network-reachable to the attacker, and that both the unauthenticated POST /upload/image and POST /prompt endpoints be accessible (their default, out-of-the-box state). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | This is a genuine high-priority issue, not a high-CVSS-but-low-risk case. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker locates an internet- or LAN-exposed ComfyUI instance and sends an unauthenticated POST /upload/image request carrying a malicious shard_*.pkl whose pickle __reduce__ payload runs os.system with attacker commands. They then POST /prompt with a workflow graph referencing the uploaded file through the LoadTrainingDataset node; when torch.load deserializes it, arbitrary code executes as the ComfyUI process user. … |
| Remediation | Apply the vendor fix from PR #14543 / commit 94ee49b1612824366a8631ea069b2a1fa5c73720 (https://github.com/Comfy-Org/ComfyUI/pull/14543), which changes torch.load to use weights_only=True; upgrade to a build that includes this commit past 0.23.0 - an exact tagged patched release version is not independently confirmed from the provided data, so verify the running build contains the commit. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, inventory all ComfyUI deployments running v0.23.0 or earlier and restrict network access to the web interface if immediate patching is not feasible; prioritize isolating internet-facing instances. …
