AI-Generated

The vulnerability allows attackers to exploit the _get_checkpoint_shard_files function in Diffusers through version 0.39.0, enabling them to perform path traversal attacks by manipulating weight_map values in model index JSON. This can lead to unauthorized access to arbitrary files outside the intended model directory, potentially exposing sensitive information. Organizations utilizing affected versions of Diffusers should prioritize patching to mitigate the risk of data exposure.

Original NVD Description

Diffusers through 0.39.0, fixed in commit cee298c, contains a path traversal vulnerability in the _get_checkpoint_shard_files function that allows attackers to read arbitrary files by supplying malicious weight_map values in model index JSON. Attackers can use ../ sequences or absolute paths in weight_map entries to escape the model directory and read safetensors files outside the intended location during model loading.
