Summary
A path traversal vulnerability in Ultralytics during Google Drive downloads could lead to remote code execution. The flaw results from lack of proper validation of a user-supplied path before use in file operations. User interaction is required (visiting a malicious page or opening a malicious file).
Risk Assessment
An attacker could remotely execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process, potentially leading to system compromise. The risk is high as only user interaction is required.
Recommendation
Update Ultralytics to a version containing the fix. Avoid opening untrusted files and visiting suspicious pages; implement path validation in applications using Ultralytics.
Other vulnerabilities in Ultralytics
See all- CVE-2026-118618High
A code injection vulnerability in the parse_model function of Ultralytics could lead to remote code execution. The flaw results from lack of proper validation of a user-supplied string before using it to execute Python code. User interaction is required (visiting a malicious page or opening a malicious file).
- CVE-2026-118617High
A deserialization of untrusted data vulnerability in the load_dataset_cache_file function of Ultralytics could lead to remote code execution. The flaw results from lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in deserialization of untrusted data. User interaction is required (visiting a malicious page or opening a malicious file).
- CVE-2026-118616High
A code injection vulnerability in the parse_model function of Ultralytics could lead to remote code execution. The flaw results from lack of proper validation of a user-supplied string before using it to execute Python code. User interaction is required (visiting a malicious page or opening a malicious file).
- CVE-2026-118615High
A command injection vulnerability in the torch_safe_load function of Ultralytics could lead to remote code execution. The flaw results from lack of proper validation of a user-supplied string before using it to execute a system call. User interaction is required (visiting a malicious page or opening a malicious file).
- CVE-2026-118614High
A code injection vulnerability in the check_det_dataset function of Ultralytics allows remote code execution. The flaw stems from lack of validation of a user-supplied string before using it to execute Python code. User interaction is required — the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
- CVE-2026-118613High
A deserialization of untrusted data vulnerability in the torch_load function of Ultralytics allows remote code execution. The flaw results from lack of validation of user-supplied data. User interaction is required — the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
Original NVD description (English source)
Ultralytics Google Drive Download Path Traversal Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Ultralytics. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The specific flaw exists within the handling of downloads from Google Drive. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of a user-supplied path prior to using it in file operations. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-32376.
