Overview
transformers is a State-of-the-art Machine Learning for JAX, PyTorch and TensorFlow
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Unsafe Dependency Resolution in the model initialization process when the trust_remote_code parameter is overridden by untrusted configuration data. An attacker can execute arbitrary code by supplying a malicious model repository, which may result in credential theft, unauthorized access, or deployment of backdoors.
