CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedSpeechBrain versions prior to 1.1.1 are vulnerable to an arbitrary code execution flaw due to unsafe parsing of crafted CKPT.yaml checkpoint metadata files using PyYAML's loader. This vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary code by embedding malicious Python object tags in any checkpoint file, potentially impacting systems that utilize these checkpoints during candidate enumeration. Organizations using SpeechBrain should prioritize patching to mitigate the risk of exploitation.

Original NVD Description
SpeechBrain before 1.1.1 contains an arbitrary code execution vulnerability that allows attackers to execute arbitrary code by supplying a crafted CKPT.yaml checkpoint metadata file parsed with PyYAML's unsafe loader during candidate enumeration in Checkpointer.recover_if_possible(). Attackers can embed malicious Python object construction tags such as !!python/object/apply in any CKPT.yaml file within the configured checkpoint path to trigger code execution during candidate discovery, even if the malicious checkpoint is never selected for recovery.
