CVE-2026-69112 (GCVE-0-2026-69112)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-08-10 19:05 – Updated: 2026-08-11 14:37 X_Open Source

Title

Hugging Face Accelerate 1.14.0 Path Traversal and DoS via weight_map

Summary

Hugging Face Accelerate through 1.14.0 contains a path traversal vulnerability in load_checkpoint_in_model and load_checkpoint_and_dispatch functions that fail to sanitize weight_map 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.

Severity
