CVE-2026-71281

Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.

Description

Hugging Face peft's LoRA-GA and CorDA initialization modules (src/peft/tuners/lora/corda.py lines ~102 and ~163, and src/peft/tuners/lora/loraga.py line ~101) call torch.load on config-specified cache/covariance files without weights_only=True, bypassing peft's own safe-loading wrapper used elsewhere in the codebase.

Debido a que torch.load() sin weights_only=True realiza una deserialización completa de pickle, la carga de un archivo de caché o covarianza malicioso (por ejemplo, una caché de LoRA-GA o CorDA compartida/descargada) resulta en ejecución de código arbitrario."
