CVE-2024-11392Network attack vector

Code execution via unsafe conversion-script deserialization

Published Nov 22, 2024 · Updated Nov 26, 2024

Deserialization in MobileViTV2 conversion scripts in Hugging Face Transformers before 4.48.0 allows remote attackers to execute code. The bundled conversion scripts open insecure pickle or legacy Torch checkpoint formats without validating serialized content before deserialization. Exploitation requires a user to download a malicious file and invoke an obscure conversion script, after which code runs with the current user's privileges.
