Description

InvokeAI has a critical vulnerability leading to remote code execution in the /api/v2/models/install API through unsafe model deserialization.
The API allows users to specify a model URL, which is downloaded and loaded server-side using torch.load without proper validation.
This functionality allows attackers to embed malicious code in model files that execute upon loading.
