CVE-2025-12060: Keras Directory Traversal Vulnerability

December 2, 2025

Keras’s keras.utils.get_file() function is vulnerable to directory traversal attacks despite implementing filter_safe_paths(). The vulnerability exists because extract_archive() uses Python’s tarfile.extractall() method without the security-critical filter="data" parameter. A PATH_MAX symlink resolution bug occurs before path filtering, allowing malicious tar archives to bypass security checks and write files outside the intended extraction directory.
