CVE-2025-59953: LMdeploy has Remote Code Execution by Pickle Deserialization via zmq_rpc.call_and_response() in InterLM/lmdeploy

September 16, 2026

The LMdeploy implements an rpc server (AsyncRPCServer in zmq_rpc.py) for supporting the RPC communications. In its core functionality call_and_response(), I found it will directly use the pickles.loads() to deserialize the received messages without any sanitization, hence resulting in a remote code execution vulnerability by this RPC server.
