Hugging Face Transformers Deserialization Remote Code Execution
transformers
The huggingface/transformers library is vulnerable to arbitrary code execution through unsafe deserialization in model checkpoints. Attackers can execute commands by tricking users into loading malicious serialized files.
disclosed CVENo confirmed exploitation, so this record is tracked as a disclosed vulnerability and not counted as an incident. It moves into the counts if CISA or the vendor confirms exploitation. Why
