DescriptionNVD
A vulnerability in the HuggingFace Transformers library, specifically in the Trainer class, allows for arbitrary code execution. The _load_rng_state() method in src/transformers/trainer.py at line 3059 calls torch.load() without the weights_only=True parameter. This issue affects all versions of the library supporting torch>=2.2 when used with PyTorch versions below 2.6, as the safe_globals() context manager provides no protection in these versions. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by supplying a malicious checkpoint file, such as rng_state.pth, which can execute arbitrary code when loaded. The issue is resolved in version v5.0.0rc3.

Remote code execution in HuggingFace Transformers library allows arbitrary code execution via malicious checkpoint files. The _load_rng_state() method in the Trainer class calls torch.load() without the weights_only=True parameter, enabling deserialization attacks when PyTorch versions below 2.6 are used with torch>=2.2. …
