Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Keras versions below 3.12.3 and from 3.13.0 up to (not including) 3.15.0 are affected. When a model configuration is loaded through Lambda deserialization with safe mode left at its default, the safe-mode guard is skipped, so an attacker who can supply the model configuration can get code executed with the privileges of the server or user process. Upgrade to Keras 3.12.3 or 3.15.0, depending on your release line.
