CVE-2026-24232

Code execution via unsafe model deserialization

Published Jul 21, 2026 · Updated Jul 21, 2026

Deserialization of untrusted data in NVIDIA Transformers4Rec before 41b14d7 allows local users to execute code through a malicious model file. The Model.load method opens t4rec_model_class.pkl and passes its contents to the package's unrestricted pickle-based loader, allowing serialized objects to invoke code during reconstruction. Execution requires the Python process to load an attacker-controlled model artifact, after which code runs with that process's privileges and can alter or disclose accessible data.
