🚨High - Hugging Face peft LoRA-GA/CorDA torch.load() Pickle RCE (CVE-2026-71281) peft's LoRA-GA and CorDA init paths call torch.load() on cache/covariance file paths from config without weights_only=True, bypassing the safe loader wrapper and triggering full pickle deserialization. Supplying a malicious cache/covariance file yields arbitrary code execution. Standard model weight loading via the safer wrapper is not affected. 👉Affected: peft (versions with LoRA-GA/CorDA cache/covariance loading via torch.load without weights_only)
