EPSS: 1.1%

Summary

CVE-2026-31228 affects the Adversarial Robustness Toolbox (ART) through 1.20.1, in its Kubeflow component. The robustness evaluation function for PyTorch models passes user-supplied strings for the LossFn and Optimizer parameters to eval() without sanitization, so an attacker can supply a crafted string containing arbitrary Python code. That code runs when eval() is called, giving the attacker full control of the system running the ART evaluation.
