Detailed vulnerability description
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code.
The vulnerability exists due to improper access control in the trust_remote_code check for the transformers loader when handling HTTP POST requests to /queue/join that load a model. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request to execute arbitrary code.
The issue arises because enforcement of the trust_remote_code restriction is performed only in the client-side web interface.
