Summary
hankcs HanLP from 2.1.0-beta.0 up to and including 2.1.0-beta.64 is affected. The load_word2vec_as_vocab_tensor function in hanlp/utils/torch_util.py deserializes untrusted data passed in the vectors.vocab argument (CWE-502). A remote attacker without privileges can trigger it, with passive user interaction. A public exploit has been disclosed and may be used.
