Denial of Service in Keras via Excessive Memory Allocation in HDF5 Metadata

Published Jan 15, 2026 · Updated Jul 15, 2026 · Assigned by Google

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

Description

Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling in the HDF5 weight loading component in Google Keras 3.0.0 through 3.13.0 on all platforms allows a remote attacker to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) through memory exhaustion and a crash of the Python interpreter via a crafted .keras archive containing a valid model.weights.h5 file whose dataset declares an extremely large shape.
