LLama Factory enables fine-tuning of large language models. Prior to version 1.0.0, a critical vulnerability exists in the llamafy_baichuan2.py script of the LLaMA-Factory project. The script performs insecure deserialization using torch.load() on user-supplied .bin files from an input directory. An attacker can exploit this behavior by crafting a malicious .bin file that executes arbitrary commands during deserialization. This issue has been patched in version 1.0.0.

Weakness

The product deserializes untrusted data without sufficiently ensuring that the resulting data will be valid.

Affected Software

Name Vendor Start Version End Version
Llama-factory Hiyouga * 1.0.0 (excluding)

Potential Mitigations

  • Make fields transient to protect them from deserialization.
  • An attempt to serialize and then deserialize a class containing transient fields will result in NULLs where the transient data should be. This is an excellent way to prevent time, environment-based, or sensitive variables from being carried over and used improperly.
