Windows ML CLI is a command line tool for building portable, performant, and high-quality AI models for Windows ML. Prior to 0.4.0, the src/winml/modelkit/serve/cliapi.py component exposes WinML CLI commands through a localhost HTTP API without authentication and configures the alloworigins setting as a wildcard in both src/winml/modelkit/serve/cliapi.py and src/winml/modelkit/serve/app.py. A malicious website loaded by a user can send cross-origin requests to /v1/cli/build or /v1/cli/config and set the trustremotecode parameter to true, which is converted to the --trust-remote-code command-line flag without validation. This reaches AutoConfig.frompretrained with trustremotecode=True in src/winml/modelkit/loader/_autoconfig.py and imports Python code from an attacker-controlled model repository, resulting in arbitrary code execution as the server user. This issue is fixed in version 0.4.0.
