CVE-2026-12484
Description
A flaw was found in Keras, specifically within the keras.layers.TorchModuleWrapper.from_config method. This vulnerability allows an attacker to perform unsafe deserialization of PyTorch pickle data. By processing untrusted Keras layer configurations, a local attacker could exploit this flaw, leading to arbitrary code execution. This occurs because the method does not enforce safe deserialization practices by default, potentially allowing malicious code to run on the system.
Statement
This Important vulnerability affects Red Hat OpenShift AI components utilizing Keras for model processing. A local attacker could achieve arbitrary code execution by providing untrusted Keras layer configurations, which are then unsafely deserialized by the keras.layers.TorchModuleWrapper.from_config method. This risk is present when users process external or unverified model configurations within their OpenShift AI deployments.
Mitigation
To mitigate this issue, ensure that Red Hat OpenShift AI environments only process Keras layer configurations from trusted sources. Avoid loading or processing any untrusted Keras layer configurations, as this vulnerability can lead to arbitrary code execution.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
The following CVSS metrics and score provided are preliminary and subject to review.
