CVE-2025-49838 is an unsafe deserialization vulnerability (CWE-502) in GPT-SoVITS-WebUI, an open-source voice conversion and text-to-speech web interface hosted under the RVC-Boss/GPT-SoVITS GitHub repository. It affects versions 20250228v3 and prior, specifically in the vr.py module's AudioPreDeEcho component. User input via the model_choose parameter, such as a model path, is passed to the uvr function, where it becomes the model_path attribute of an AudioPreDeEcho instance (with a .pth extension appended). This path is then loaded directly using torch.load, enabling arbitrary deserialization of untrusted data.
The vulnerability carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), making it exploitable remotely over the network by unauthenticated attackers with low complexity and no user interaction required. Exploitation involves supplying a malicious model path pointing to a crafted .pth file, which torch.load deserializes, potentially resulting in remote code execution with the privileges of the webUI process and high impacts to confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
GitHub Security Lab advisory GHSL-2025-049_GHSL-2025-053, along with referenced code locations in tools/uvr5/vr.py and webui.py, details the flaw but notes no patched versions were available at publication on 2025-07-15. Practitioners should restrict network access to the webUI, validate and sanitize model paths, or disable the affected AudioPreDeEcho functionality until upstream fixes are released.
This issue underscores deserialization risks in AI/ML web tools handling PyTorch models, as GPT-SoVITS-WebUI processes user-supplied paths in voice-related workflows with no observed real-world exploits reported at disclosure.

Vulnerability Data
GPT-SoVITS-WebUI is a voice conversion and text-to-speech webUI. In versions 20250228v3 and prior, there is an unsafe deserialization vulnerability in vr.py AudioPreDeEcho. The model_choose variable takes user input (e.g. a path to a model) and passes it to the uvr…

function. In uvr, a new instance of AudioPreDeEcho class is created with the model_path attribute containing the aforementioned user input (here called locally model_name). Note that in this step the .pth extension is added to the path. In the AudioPreDeEcho class, the user input, here called model_path, is used to load the model on that path with torch.load, which can lead to unsafe deserialization. At time of publication, no known patched versions are available.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Developer testing and evaluation can uncover deserialization flaws before deployment.
Input validation directly stops deserialization of untrusted data by ensuring inputs are valid before processing.
Engineering principles such as safe deserialization and input sanitization structurally prevent the weakness from being introduced.
Integrity verification tools can detect malformed or tampered serialized data after the fact.

PR.PS-02 addresses only post-deployment updates/patching and cannot prevent introduction of unsafe deserialization code, yet it can remediate some instances when the flaw exists in outdated libraries or components.

Security testing includes validation of deserialization routines and the use of untrusted data, reducing the likelihood that unsafe object reconstruction will be deployed.
Requiring vetted libraries, regular updates and SAST before release reduces the likelihood that deserialization logic will accept and act on attacker-controlled serialized objects.
Regular scanning of third-party libraries and timely patching reduce the likelihood that unsafe deserialization vulnerabilities remain active.
Mandatory malware scanning of data received over networks or storage media intercepts malicious serialized payloads before they are deserialized by the target application.
