Path Traversal
AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H

Hugging Face Accelerate through 1.14.0 contains a path traversal vulnerability in loadcheckpointinmodel and loadcheckpointanddispatch functions that fail to sanitize weightmap entries from sharded checkpoint indexes. Attackers can supply relative paths with ../ sequences or absolute paths to read arbitrary files, or point shard entries at named pipes to cause indefinite blocking and denial of service.

Hugging Face Accelerate Deserialization of Untrusted Data Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Hugging Face Accelerate. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.

The specific flaw exists within the parsing of checkpoints. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in deserialization of untrusted data. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-27985.
