FKIE_CVE-2025-53002

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2025-06-26 15:15 - Updated: 2026-06-17 09:37
Summary
LLaMA-Factory is a tuning library for large language models. A remote code execution vulnerability was discovered in LLaMA-Factory versions up to and including 0.9.3 during the LLaMA-Factory training process. This vulnerability arises because the `vhead_file` is loaded without proper safeguards, allowing malicious attackers to execute arbitrary malicious code on the host system simply by passing a malicious `Checkpoint path` parameter through the `WebUI` interface. The attack is stealthy, as the victim remains unaware of the exploitation. The root cause is that the `vhead_file` argument is loaded without the secure parameter `weights_only=True`. Version 0.9.4 contains a fix for the issue.

Se descubri\u00f3 una vulnerabilidad de ejecuci\u00f3n remota de c\u00f3digo en versiones de LLaMA-Factory hasta la 0.9.3 (incluida) durante su entrenamiento.

El ataque es sigiloso, ya que la v\u00edctima desconoce la explotaci\u00f3n. La causa principal es que el argumento `vhead_file` se carga sin el par\u00e1metro seguro `weights_only=True`.
