Last modified Jun 17, 2026

CVE-2023-5245 is a critical-severity vulnerability rated 9.8/10 on the CVSS scale. FileUtil.extract() enumerates all zip file entries and extracts each file without validating whether file paths in the archive are outside the intended directory. When creating an instance of TensorflowModel using the saved_model format and an exported tensorflow model, the apply() function invokes the vulnerable implementation of FileUtil.extract(). Arbitrary file creation can directly lead to code execution. EPSS estimates a 1.19% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
