Last modified

CVE-2026-45804 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. Diffusers is the a library for pretrained diffusion models. Prior to 0.38.0, Diffusers' DiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained flow can bypass the trust_remote_code guard because download() validates model_index.json and custom pipeline code before later loading from a cached folder that can change, allowing a Hub repository with custom .py pipeline code to execute through the custom pipeline flow without passing custom_pipeline or trust_remote_code=True. EPSS estimates a 0.27% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
