CVE-2023-5245: Using MLeap for loading a saved model (zip archive) can lead to path traversal/arbitrary file creation and possibly remote code execution.
First published: Wed Nov 15 2023(Updated: )
FileUtil.extract() enumerates all zip file entries and extracts each file without validating whether file paths in the archive are outside the intended directory. When creating an instance of TensorflowModel using the saved_model format and an exported tensorflow model, the apply() function invokes the vulnerable implementation of FileUtil.extract(). Arbitrary file creation can directly lead to code execution
