CVE-2025-54886 Details
Description
skops is a Python library which helps users share and ship their scikit-learn based models. In versions 0.12.0 and below, the Card.get_model does not contain any logic to prevent arbitrary code execution. The Card.get_model function supports both joblib and skops for model loading. When loading .skops models, it uses skops' secure loading with trusted type validation, raising errors for untrusted types unless explicitly allowed. However, when non-.zip file formats are provided, the function silently falls back to joblib without warning. Unlike skops, joblib allows arbitrary code execution during loading, bypassing security measures and potentially enabling malicious code execution. This issue is fixed in version 0.13.0.
A vulnerability allowing arbitrary code execution has been identified in the Skops library, specifically in versions prior to 0.13.0. The issue arises in the Card.get_model function, which facilitates loading scikit-learn models. When models are loaded from non-.zip file formats, the function defaults to using Joblib, a library that permits arbitrary code execution, without any warning. This behavior bypasses Skops' security measures, which are designed to prevent such risks. The vulnerability can be exploited by crafting a malicious model file that, when loaded, executes code on the user's machine. This issue has been addressed in Skops version 0.13.0.
Users can upgrade to Skops version 0.13.0 or later, where this vulnerability has been fixed.
