CVE-2026-54499
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
Stanza is a Stanford NLP Python library for tokenization, sentence segmentation, NER, and parsing of many human languages. Prior to 1.12.2, Stanza model loaders such as stanza.models.common.pretrain.Pretrain.load() attempt torch.load(..., weights_only=True) but fall back to torch.load(..., weights_only=False) on attacker-controllable pickle.UnpicklingError, allowing a malicious .pt pretrain or model file to execute arbitrary pickle code when a Stanza NLP pipeline loads it. This issue is fixed in version 1.12.2.

Antes de la versión 1.12.2, los cargadores de modelos de Stanza, como stanza.models.common.pretrain.Pretrain.load(), intentan torch.load(..., weights_only=True) pero recurren a torch.load(..., weights_only=False) ante un pickle.UnpicklingError controlable por el atacante, lo que permite que un archivo de preentrenamiento o modelo .pt malicioso ejecute código pickle arbitrario cuando una canalización de PNL de Stanza lo carga. Este problema está solucionado en la versión 1.12.2."
