Summary
AUTOMATIC1111 stable-diffusion-webui up to 1.10.1 allocates resources without limits in read_metadata_from_safetensors in modules/sd_models.py, part of the Metadata Extraction component. A remote attacker can manipulate the header length field to trigger this, and the CVSS 4.0 base score is 5.3 (MEDIUM). A public exploit exists, and CISA's SSVC data rates exploitation as PoC and not automatable. The vulnerability is not in CISA KEV, and the project has not responded to an early issue report.
