Details

As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).

## What's the issue Passing `silent=True` to `onnx.hub.load()` kills all trust warnings and user prompts. This means a model can be downloaded from any unverified GitHub repo with zero user awareness. ```python if not _verify_repo_ref(repo) and not silent: # completely skipped when silent=True print("The model repo... is not trusted") if input().lower() != "y": return None ``` On top of that, the SHA256 integrity check is useless here — it validates against a manifest that lives in the same repo the attacker controls, so the hash will always match. ## Impact Any pipeline using `hub.load()` with `silent=True` and an external repo string is silently loading whatever the repo owner ships. If that model executes arbitrary code on load, the attacker has access to the machine. ## Resolved by removing the feature ## References - [Write-up](https://github.com/ZeroXJacks/CVEs/blob/main/2026/CVE-2026-28500.md)
