PYSEC-2026-3629
Keras versions up to and including 3.13.2 are vulnerable to an arbitrary HDF5 file read due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2026-1669. The vulnerability resides in the H5IOStore._verify_dataset() and file_editor.py methods, which fail to check the dataset.is_virtual property of HDF5 datasets. This allows an attacker to craft a malicious .keras model archive or .h5 weights file containing a Virtual Dataset (VDS) that references external HDF5 files on the victim's filesystem. When the victim loads the model using keras.models.load_model() or keras.saving.load_model(), the external file is transparently read, leading to potential information disclosure. Fixed in versions 3.12.3 and 3.15.0.
The vulnerability requires local access to the device to be exploited. It is easy for an attacker to exploit this vulnerability. An attacker does not need any special privileges or access rights. The attacker needs the user to perform some action, like clicking a link. The impact is confined to the system where the vulnerability exists. There is a high impact on the confidentiality of the information.
Exploitation attempts have been detected. Elevated vigilance and prompt remediation are advised.
The exploit probability is very low. The vulnerability is unlikely to be exploited in the next 30 days.
We did not find any exploit available. Neither in GitHub repositories nor in the Exploit-Database.
