Attack profile from CVSS 4.0 · CNA. Fix status from CNA. Impact type from CWE-502.

Summary

Crawl4AI from 0.9.0 before 0.9.5 fails to filter the CosineStrategy model_name field in untrusted Docker API request bodies, so authenticated clients can choose which HuggingFace model the server loads. An attacker can reference a malicious repository with a pickle weight file (CWE-502) to execute Python code under PyTorch below 2.6, or exhaust disk and memory. Exploitation requires low privileges and is rated as proof-of-concept only.
