CVE-2025-10950

6.3 MEDIUM

📋 TL;DR

A remote code execution vulnerability exists in geyang ml-logger's ping handler due to unsafe deserialization of user-controlled data. Attackers can exploit this to execute arbitrary code on affected systems. Users of ml-logger with the vulnerable component exposed are at risk.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • geyang ml-logger
Versions: All versions up to commit acf255bade5be6ad88d90735c8367b28cbe3a743
Operating Systems: All platforms running Python
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: Affects the ping handler component specifically. Rolling release model means no specific version numbers available.

⚠️ Manual Verification Required

This CVE does not have specific version information in our database, so automatic vulnerability detection cannot determine if your system is affected.

Why? The CVE database entry doesn't specify which versions are vulnerable (no version ranges provided by the vendor/NVD).

Recommended Actions:
  1. Review the CVE details at NVD
  2. Check vendor security advisories for your specific version
  3. Test if the vulnerability is exploitable in your environment
  4. Consider updating to the latest version as a precaution

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Full system compromise allowing attacker to execute arbitrary commands, steal data, or pivot to other systems.

🟠

Likely Case

Remote code execution leading to data exfiltration, service disruption, or installation of malware.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact if proper network segmentation and input validation are in place.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH - Vulnerability is remotely exploitable without authentication.
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM - Still exploitable from internal networks but attack surface is reduced.

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ⚠️ Yes
Weaponized: UNKNOWN
Unauthenticated Exploit: ⚠️ Yes
Complexity: LOW

Exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be utilized. Deserialization vulnerabilities are often easily weaponized.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Commit after acf255bade5be6ad88d90735c8367b28cbe3a743

Vendor Advisory: https://github.com/geyang/ml-logger/issues/72

Restart Required: No

Instructions:

1. Update to latest ml-logger version from GitHub repository. 2. Verify the fix is applied by checking the server.py file. 3. No restart required for Python applications.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Disable Ping Handler

all

Remove or disable the vulnerable ping handler component

Modify ml_logger/server.py to remove or comment out ping handler functionality

Network Restriction

all

Restrict access to ml-logger service to trusted networks only

Use firewall rules to limit access to ml-logger port

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Implement strict network segmentation to isolate ml-logger instances
  • Deploy web application firewall with deserialization attack detection

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check if ml-logger version is at or before commit acf255bade5be6ad88d90735c8367b28cbe3a743

Check Version:

git log --oneline | head -1

Verify Fix Applied:

Verify the server.py file no longer contains unsafe deserialization in the ping handler

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual deserialization errors
  • Suspicious ping handler activity
  • Unexpected process execution

Network Indicators:

  • Unusual traffic to ml-logger ping endpoint
  • Suspicious payloads in HTTP requests

SIEM Query:

source="ml-logger" AND (event="deserialization" OR event="ping_handler")
