Summary

PaddlePaddle PaddleX up to 3.7.2 is affected. The NormalizeImage.__init__ function in the Preprocessor component does not control code generation properly when handling the scale argument, which allows code injection (CWE-94). A remote attacker without privileges can trigger it, and the CVSS vector indicates that user interaction is required.
