An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2025-3264 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- transformers (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 4.51.0\n- transformers (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 4.51.0\n- transformers (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 4.51.0\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-3264/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-3264/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-3264","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-3264/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-3264","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-jjph-296x-mrcr","PYSEC-2026-1985"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Python ML library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can cause resource exhaustion and service disruption in Hugging Face Transformers via crafted input triggering catastrophic regex backtracking.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"@huntr_ai","cpe":[{"product":"transformers","vendor":"huggingface"}],"cvss":{"score":5.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-1333","name":"Inefficient Regular Expression Complexity"}],"description":"A Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) vulnerability was discovered in the Hugging Face Transformers library, specifically in the `get_imports()` function within `dynamic_module_utils.py`. This vulnerability affects versions 4.49.0 and is fixed in version 4.51.0. The issue arises from a regular expression pattern `\\s*try\\s*:.*?except.*?:` used to filter out try/except blocks from Python code, which can be exploited to cause excessive CPU consumption through crafted input strings due to catastrophic backtracking. This vulnerability can lead to remote code loading disruption, resource exhaustion in model serving, supply chain attack vectors, and development pipeline disruption.","ecosystems":["PyPI"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) in huggingface/transformers","id":"CVE-2025-3264","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"PyPI","product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2025"},"n_packages":3,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"PHPGurukul e-Diary Management System add-category.php sql injection","id":"CVE-2025-3265"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["4.51.0"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"transformers","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-jjph-296x-mrcr"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["4.51.0"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"transformers","purl":"pkg:pypi/transformers","source":"GHSA-jjph-296x-mrcr"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["4.51.0"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"transformers","purl":"pkg:pypi/transformers","source":"PYSEC-2026-1985"}],"prev":{"headline":"Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) in huggingface/transformers","id":"CVE-2025-3263"},"products":["huggingface/transformers"],"published":"2025-07-07","related":[{"cvss_score":9.6,"headline":"Deserialization of Untrusted Data in huggingface/transformers","id":"CVE-2023-7018","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-12-20"},{"cvss_score":9,"headline":"Deserialization of Untrusted Data in huggingface/transformers","id":"CVE-2023-6730","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-12-19"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Hugging Face Transformers MaskFormer Model Deserialization of Untrusted Data Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-11393","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-11-22"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Hugging Face Transformers Trax Model Deserialization of Untrusted Data Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-11394","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-11-22"},{"cvss_score":8,"headline":"Policy Bypass in LightGlue Nested Config Resolution in huggingface/transformers","id":"CVE-2026-5241","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-06-03"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Arbitrary Remote Code Execution via `_attn_implementation_internal` Config Injection in huggingface/transformers","id":"CVE-2026-4372","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-05-24"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Hugging Face Transformers Perceiver Model Deserialization of Untrusted Data Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-14920","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-12-23"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"PyPA Advisory Database","prefix":"PYSEC"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"yes","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-07-07","vendors":["huggingface"]},"summary":"Attackers can cause resource exhaustion and service disruption in Hugging Face Transformers via crafted input triggering catastrophic regex backtracking.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-3264/"}
