Local code execution via unsafe pickle deserialization
Published Jan 18, 2024 · Updated Jun 2, 2025
Deserialization in DeepFaceLab pretrained DF.wf.288res.384.92.72.22 allows local users to execute code via a crafted meta.dat file. The restore_faceset_metadata_folder function reads the entire file and passes its bytes to pickle.loads without validation or a restricted unpickler. A local user must place or modify meta.dat and invoke metadata restoration; successful exploitation runs code with the DeepFaceLab process's privileges.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
