GHSA-47fc-vmwq-366v
CRITICALGHSA-47fc-vmwq-366v is a critical-severity (CVSS 9.8) Code Injection vulnerability in torch. 1 public exploit reference exists, so weaponization risk is real. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-47fc-vmwq-366v is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
PyTorch vulnerable to arbitrary code execution
Blast Radius
torchReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects PyPI packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
In PyTorch before trunk/89695, torch.jit.annotations.parse_type_line can cause arbitrary code execution because eval is used unsafely. The fix for this issue is available in version 1.13.1. There is a release checker in issue #89855.
Affected Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Vulnerable range | Fix |
|---|---|---|---|

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for torch. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Fix
Update torch to 1.13.1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-47fc-vmwq-366v is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-47fc-vmwq-366v is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to GHSA-47fc-vmwq-366v. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is GHSA-47fc-vmwq-366v in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-47fc-vmwq-366v across PyPI dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
