Doc Text:
A flaw was found in Hugging Face Accelerate. This path traversal vulnerability exists in the `load_checkpoint_in_model` and `load_checkpoint_and_dispatch` functions due to a failure to sanitize `weight_map` entries from sharded checkpoint indexes. An attacker can exploit this by supplying relative paths with `../` sequences or absolute paths, leading to the ability to read arbitrary files or cause a denial of service by pointing shard entries at named pipes.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-08-10 19:21:31 UTC
Hugging Face Accelerate through 1.14.0 contains a path traversal vulnerability in load_checkpoint_in_model and load_checkpoint_and_dispatch functions that fail to sanitize weight_map entries from sharded checkpoint indexes. Attackers can supply relative paths with ../ sequences or absolute paths to read arbitrary files, or point shard entries at named pipes to cause indefinite blocking and denial of service.
