recommenders-team recommenders Dict Loading mind_iterator.py pickle.load deserialization
Summary
A security flaw has been discovered in recommenders-team recommenders up to 1.2.1. This impacts the function pickle.load of the file recommenders/models/newsrec/io/mind_iterator.py of the component Dict Loading. Performing a manipulation results in deserialization. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The exploit has been released to the public and may be used for attacks. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
