Summary

The braindecode library, a Python package for EEG deep learning, has a path traversal flaw in its Hub Integration code, specifically in the model loading function EEGModuleMixin._from_pretrained. An attacker can exploit it remotely without logging in, but it requires a user to take some action, and it could let them read or write files outside the intended location with low impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Written by anthropic/claude-haiku-5.5 from the sources below. Verify against them.

Read the original description

A security vulnerability has been detected in braindecode up to 1.8.2. This affects the function EEGModuleMixin._from_pretrained of the file braindecode/models/base.py of the component Hub Integration. Such manipulation of the argument filename leads to path traversal. The attack can be executed remotely. The exploit has been disclosed publicly and may be used. Upgrading to version 2.0.0 mitigates this issue. The name of the patch is 05b764d93b9a50400f523206fbe03d73d0cf5edb. It is recommended to upgrade the affected component.
