CVE-2026-31254 Detail

Description

The flash-attention project thru commit e724e2588cbe754beb97cf7c011b5e7e34119e62 (2025-13-04) contains a code injection vulnerability (CWE-94) in its training script. The script registers the Python eval() function as a Hydra configuration resolver under the name eval. This allows configuration files to execute arbitrary Python code via the ${eval:...} syntax. An attacker can exploit this by providing a malicious configuration file, leading to arbitrary code execution when the training script is run with that configuration.
