AI risk analysis
- Summary
- The flaw allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code by loading malicious cache/covariance files, posing a significant security risk.
- Exploitability
- Exploitation requires access to the affected modules and knowledge of the file format, making it moderately difficult.
- Blast radius
- If exploited, the impact could be severe, potentially leading to full system compromise or data loss.
- Detection
- No reliable host or network indicator is derivable from the published description.
- Prioritized remediation
- Disable the affected LoRA-GA and CorDA initialization modules until a patch is available.

NVD 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.
