Overview
pytorch-lightning is a lightweight PyTorch wrapper for ML researchers. Scale your models. Write less boilerplate.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary File Upload via the LightningApp when running on a Windows host at the /api/v1/upload_file/ endpoint. An attacker can write or overwrite arbitrary files by providing a crafted filename, potentially leading to remote code execution by overwriting critical files or placing malicious files in sensitive locations.
