CVE-2026-35502 is a medium-severity flaw (CVSS 5.3) affecting extension for pytorch. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.

Deserialization of untrusted data for some Intel(R) Extension for PyTorch before version 2.8.0 within Ring 3: User Applications may allow an escalation of privilege. Unprivileged software adversary with an unauthenticated user combined with a low complexity attack may enable escalation of privilege. This result may potentially occur via local access when attack requirements are not present without special internal knowledge and requires active us
