Description

A flaw was found in peft. The LoRA-GA and CorDA initialization modules within Hugging Face peft improperly call `torch.load()` without the `weights_only=True` parameter. This oversight allows for full pickle deserialization when loading a malicious cache or covariance file. A remote attacker could exploit this by tricking a user into loading a specially crafted file, leading to arbitrary code execution on the affected system.
