{"cve":"CVE-2025-53002","nvd":{"published":"2025-06-26T15:15:23.873","modified":"2026-06-17T09:37:27.313","status":"Analyzed","description":"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.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":9.8},"cwes":["CWE-94","CWE-502"],"references":["https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AddKm2mllsXfuvL4Tvbn_WJdjEOYXx4y/view?usp=sharing","https://github.com/hiyouga/LLaMA-Factory/commit/bb7bf51554d4ba8432333c35a5e3b52705955ede","https://github.com/hiyouga/LLaMA-Factory/security/advisories/GHSA-xj56-p8mm-qmxj"],"products":["hiyouga:llama-factory"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:03:23.287444849+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2025-53002","score":0.0127,"percentile":0.69831,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-xj56-p8mm-qmxj","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-xj56-p8mm-qmxj","summary":"LLaMA-Factory allows Code Injection through improper vhead_file safeguards","modified":"2026-07-07T17:57:19.707646339Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"llamafactory","purl":"pkg:pypi/llamafactory","ranges":["<=0.9.3"],"fixed":[]}]},{"id":"PYSEC-2026-1576","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/PYSEC-2026-1576","summary":"LLaMA-Factory allows Code Injection through improper vhead_file safeguards","modified":"2026-07-07T17:46:54.104717029Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"llamafactory","purl":"pkg:pypi/llamafactory","ranges":["<=0.9.3"],"fixed":[]}]}],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
