NewCVE-2026-118614 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
There is no fixed version for ultralytics.
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 check_det_dataset function in ultralytics/data/utils.py. An attacker can execute arbitrary Python code in the current user’s context by supplying a malicious dataset YAML whose download value is executed when the requested validation split is missing and autodownload is enabled; exploitation requires the user to open the malicious file or visit a malicious page.
