Description
A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, has been found in van_der_Schaar LAB synthcity 0.2.9. Affected by this issue is the function load_from_file of the component PKL File Handler. The manipulation leads to deserialization. The attack may be launched remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. VDB-252182 is the identifier assigned to this vulnerability. NOTE: The vendor was contacted early and confirmed immediately the existence of the issue. A patch is planned to be released in February 2024.
Affected Products

Vendor / applianceDetect
Inventory every vanderschaarlab temporai deployment and check each version against the affected-products list above. Because the exploit targets the running system rather than your application code, also watch for remote code execution at the network and runtime layer — O3 flags the exploit behaviour from runtime telemetry and egress traffic even before a vulnerable build is confirmed.
Remediation status
No patch has shipped for CVE-2024-0937 yet — track the vanderschaarlab temporai advisory for a fixed release and apply the workarounds below in the meantime.
Mitigate without a patch
Cut exposure now: restrict the management/admin interface to trusted networks, segment the device, and apply the vendor's recommended configuration mitigations and any WAF/IPS signature. O3's runtime protection blocks the exploit chain at execution, holding the line on unpatched or end-of-life systems until you can patch.
How O3 protects you
O3 detects and blocks CVE-2024-0937 exploitation at runtime: eBPF exploit-chain detection, plus L7 egress monitoring that catches the post-exploitation callback and severs the attacker's outbound channel.
Tailored to CVE-2024-0937. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
