Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Hugging Face Accelerate through version 1.14.0 is affected. Its load_checkpoint_in_model and load_checkpoint_and_dispatch functions do not sanitize weight_map entries in sharded checkpoint indexes, so an attacker who supplies a crafted checkpoint can read arbitrary files or cause indefinite blocking via named pipes. No fix is listed.
