CVE-2026-31252

Code execution via unsafe PyTorch model loading

Published May 11, 2026 · Updated May 11, 2026

Insecure deserialization in CosyVoice model loading allows local users to execute code through malicious model files. The loader passes llm.pt, flow.pt, and hift.pt files to torch.load without weights_only=True, permitting pickle to construct arbitrary Python objects. Execution occurs only when a victim starts the Web UI with the attacker-supplied model directory, and the payload runs with the victim process's privileges.
