CWE-502  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade tensorflow to version 2.5.1, 2.4.3, 2.3.4 or higher.

Overview

tensorflow is a machine learning framework.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Execution. TensorFlow and Keras can be tricked to perform arbitrary code execution when deserializing a Keras model from YAML format. The implementation uses yaml.unsafe_load which can perform arbitrary code execution on the input.
