Details

Keras versions up to and including 3.13.2 are vulnerable to an arbitrary HDF5 file read due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2026-1669. The vulnerability resides in the H5IOStore._verify_dataset() and file_editor.py methods, which fail to check the dataset.is_virtual property of HDF5 datasets. This allows an attacker to craft a malicious .keras model archive or .h5 weights file containing a Virtual Dataset (VDS) that references external HDF5 files on the victim's filesystem. When the victim loads the model using keras.models.load_model() or keras.saving.load_model(), the external file is transparently read, leading to potential information disclosure. Fixed in versions 3.12.2 and 3.14.1.
