GHSA-qw5f-8jqw-9832 · Severity: critical — The torch-checkpoint-shrink.py script in the ml-engineering project in commit...
The torch-checkpoint-shrink.py script in the ml-engineering project in commit 0099885db36a8f06556efe1faf552518852cb1e0 (2025-20-27) contains an insecure deserialization vulnerability (CWE-502). The script uses torch.load() to process PyTorch checkpoint files (.pt) without enabling the security-restrictive weights_only=True parameter. This oversight allows the deserialization of arbitrary Python objects via the pickle module. A remote attacker can exploit this by providing a maliciously crafted checkpoint file, leading to arbitrary code execution in the context of the user running the script.
