CNTK v2 (.model) — UDF Deserialization exec() RCE
MFV Target: #11 CNTK v2 ($1500)

Vulnerability: cntk/internal/__init__.py line 54
  exec("from {} import {}".format(module, cls))

When cntk.load_model() is called on a model file containing a UserFunction, 
the C++ deserializer extracts 'module' and 'class' from the serialized dict
and passes them to this callback, which calls exec() with user-controlled values.
