CVE-2026-1462Safe Mode Bypass in keras-team/keras
High 7.8
In plain English
A high-severity unsafe deserialization in keras-team/keras from keras-team. Proof-of-concept exploit code is public. The chance it is exploited in the next 30 days is estimated at 0.4% (higher than 35% of all known vulnerabilities). Fixed versions are available - upgrade the affected package.
Official description
A vulnerability in the `TFSMLayer` class of the `keras` package, version 3.13.0, allows attacker-controlled TensorFlow SavedModels to be loaded during deserialization of `.keras` models, even when `safe_mode=True`. This bypasses the security guarantees of `safe_mode` and enables arbitrary attacker-controlled code execution during model inference under the victim's privileges. The issue arises due to the unconditional loading of external SavedModels, serialization of attacker-controlled file paths, and the lack of validation in the `from_config()` method.
