Summary

Duplicate Advisory: Keras vulnerable to arbitrary file read in the model loading mechanism (HDF5 integration)

Details

Duplicate Advisory

This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-3m4q-jmj6-r34q. This link is maintained to preserve external references.

Original Description

Arbitrary file read in the model loading mechanism (HDF5 integration) in Keras versions 3.0.0 through 3.13.1 on all supported platforms allows a remote attacker to read local files and disclose sensitive information via a crafted .keras model file utilizing HDF5 external dataset references.

Severity ?

7.1 (High)
