Details

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

### Impact TensorFlow and Keras can be tricked to perform arbitrary code execution when deserializing a Keras model from YAML format. ```python from tensorflow.keras import models payload = ''' !!python/object/new:type args: ['z', !!python/tuple [], {'extend': !!python/name:exec }] listitems: "__import__('os').system('cat /etc/passwd')" ''' models.model_from_yaml(payload) ``` The [implementation](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/460e000de3a83278fb00b61a16d161b1964f15f4/tensorflow/python/keras/saving/model_config.py#L66-L104) uses `yaml.unsafe_load` which can perform arbitrary code execution on the input. ### Patches Given that YAML format support requires a significant amount of work, we have removed it for now. We have patched the issue in GitHub commit [23d6383eb6c14084a8fc3bdf164043b974818012](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/23d6383eb6c14084a8fc3bdf164043b974818012). The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.6.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.5.1, TensorFlow 2.4.3, and TensorFlow 2.3.4, as these are also affected and still in supported range. ### For more information Please consult [our security guide](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/master/SECURITY.md) for more information regarding the security model and how to contact us with issues and questions. ### Attribution This vulnerability has been reported by Arjun Shibu.
