Summary

CVE-2024-11392 is a critical vulnerability found in the Hugging Face Transformers library, specifically impacting the MobileViTV2 model. This vulnerability arises from improper validation of user-supplied data when handling configuration files. Consequently, it allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations by exploiting a deserialization flaw. User interaction is required, as the target must visit a malicious page or open a harmful file for the exploit to be successful. This raises significant security concerns, particularly for users operating in environments where untrusted input may be encountered.
