CVE-2024-29032 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.8/10 on the CVSS scale. Qiskit IBM Runtime is an environment that streamlines quantum computations and provides optimal implementations of the Qiskit quantum computing SDK. Starting in version 0.1.0 and prior to version 0.21.2, deserializing json data using `qiskit_ibm_runtime.RuntimeDecoder` can lead to arbitrary code execution given a correctly formatted input string. EPSS estimates a 0.37% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
