Arbitrary Code Execution via Crafted Keras Config for Model Loading

Published Mar 11, 2025 · Updated Jul 24, 2025 · Assigned by Google

Vendor: Google Product: Keras Package: keras Package: keras Package: keras Package: kubeflow-pipelines-visualization-server Ecosystem: Azure Linux Ecosystem: PyPI Ecosystem: Ubuntu Ecosystem: Wolfi

Description

The Keras Model.load_model function permits arbitrary code execution, even with safe_mode=True, through a manually constructed, malicious .keras archive. By altering the config.json file within the archive, an attacker can specify arbitrary Python modules and functions, along with their arguments, to be loaded and executed during model loading.
