Summary
myshell-ai AIlice up to 0.4.0 contains a flaw in the LoadModel_PEFT function of the HuggingFace Model Wrapper. Manipulating the base_model_name_or_path argument lets the function include functionality from an untrusted control sphere (CWE-829). A remote attacker without privileges can trigger it, and the CVSS vector requires passive user interaction. A public exploit has been disclosed and is linked in the references.
