CVE-2026-1462: Keras has an untrusted deserialization vulnerability
(updated )
A vulnerability in the TFSMLayer class of the keras package, version 3.13.0, allows attacker-controlled TensorFlow SavedModels to be loaded during deserialization of .keras models, even when safe_mode=True. This bypasses the security guarantees of safe_mode and enables arbitrary attacker-controlled code execution during model inference under the victim’s privileges. The issue arises due to the unconditional loading of external SavedModels, serialization of attacker-controlled file paths, and the lack of validation in the from_config() method.
