DescriptionCVE.org
Datasets through 5.0.0, fixed in f989ef9, contains a path traversal vulnerability in folder-based dataset builders where the file_name metadata field is not properly validated before being joined to the dataset directory. Attackers can supply crafted file_name values with directory traversal sequences to read arbitrary local files, which are then embedded into output when save_to_disk or push_to_hub is called.
AnalysisAI
Path traversal in Hugging Face Datasets up to 5.0.0 allows attackers to read arbitrary local files when a victim processes a crafted dataset. A publicly available exploit exists (CVE-2026-66007), though EPSS exploitation probability is low at 0.52% and user interaction is required. Patched in commit f989ef9.
