FKIE_CVE-2026-12482

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-07-14 06:16 - Updated: 2026-07-14 13:18
Severity
3.1 (Low) - CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N
Summary
A vulnerability in keras-team/keras version 3.12.0 allows an attacker to craft a malicious tar archive that bypasses the `filter_safe_tarinfos` validation in `keras/src/utils/file_utils.py`. Specifically, symlink entries are not subjected to the same `is_path_in_dir` validation as regular file entries, allowing symlinks to be created outside the intended extraction directory. This can lead to symlink-based file read, file overwrite, or directory escape attacks. The issue is particularly impactful on Python 3.10 and 3.11, where `filter_safe_tarinfos` is the sole defense against tar path traversal. This vulnerability is distinct from CVE-2025-12060 and other previously reported issues.
