CVE-2026-12191

Local code execution via unsafe pickle loading

Published Jun 14, 2026 · Updated Jun 14, 2026

Deserialization of untrusted data in comma.ai openpilot 0.11 allows local users to execute code through crafted model pickle files. ModelState in selfdrive/modeld/modeld.py loads vision, policy, metadata, and warp artifacts with unrestricted pickle.load or pickle.loads. Exploitation requires local low-privileged access and no user interaction; a replaced artifact runs attacker-controlled code in modeld's process context.
