Keras Has A Local File Disclosure Via HDF5 External Storage During Keras Weight Loading

Summary TensorFlow / Keras continues to honor HDF5 “external storage” and "ExternalLink" features when loading weights. A malicious ".weights.h5" or a ".keras" archive embedding such weights can direct "loadweights" to read from an arbitrary readable filesystem path. The bytes pulled from that pa...
