Overview

ultralytics is an Ultralytics YOLOv8 for SOTA object detection, multi-object tracking, instance segmentation, pose estimation and image classification.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Injection via the parse_model function in ultralytics/nn/tasks.py. An attacker can execute arbitrary Python code in the current user’s process by supplying a malicious model YAML whose activation value is evaluated when the target opens or loads the file.
