Vulnerability details
CosyVoice thru commit 6e01309e01bc93bbeb83bdd996b1182a81aaf11e (2025-30-21) contains an insecure deserialization vulnerability (CWE-502) in its make_parquet_list.py data processing tool. The script loads PyTorch .pt files (utterance embeddings, speaker embeddings, speech tokens) using torch.load() without enabling the weights_only=True security parameter. This allows the…
more
deserialization of arbitrary Python objects via the pickle module. An attacker can exploit this by providing malicious .pt files within a data directory. When a victim processes this directory using the tool, arbitrary code is executed on the victim's system.

Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.
Penetration testing supplies malicious serialized objects, detecting unsafe deserialization and supporting corrective actions.
Evaluation of untrusted data handling (deserialization testing) reveals unsafe processing, which the required remediation process addresses.
Untrusted serialized data can be deserialized and observed inside the chamber, blocking gadget-chain exploitation outside the sandbox.
Validates or rejects untrusted serialized data before deserialization occurs.
Identifies and blocks malicious code introduced through deserialization of untrusted data at system boundaries.
Integrity verification of serialized information can detect tampering before deserialization occurs.
Provenance of associated data allows detection of untrusted sources before deserialization or processing occurs.
