# CVE-2026-47117: OpenMed vulnerable to remote code injection through privacy-filter model loading path

**Signal:** Critical and remotely reachable. No known exploitation yet, but it is network-reachable without credentials. (Computed from CISA KEV, EPSS and CVSS; not an editorial verdict.)

## Should you act?

- No confirmed exploitation. It is not in CISA’s KEV catalog and CISA’s SSVC assessment records no known exploitation. That can change quickly after a public write-up; re-check if you are affected.
- EPSS 1.3% , percentile 70: FIRST’s model estimates a 1.3% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 70% of all scored CVEs (moderate). EPSS is a probability, not a verdict.
- Remotely reachable with no login and no user interaction. If the vulnerable service is exposed to the internet, prioritize it.
- Only applies if your dependency tree includes openmed (PyPI) < 1.5.2, fixed in 1.5.2 . Check your lockfile, including transitive dependencies.

## What it is

OpenMed before 1.5.2 contains a remote code execution vulnerability in the PII privacy-filter model loading path. The privacy-filter dispatcher used broad substring matching on the user-supplied modelname parameter, allowing a value such as attacker/foo-privacy-filter-bar to route through a path that loads Hugging Face models with trustremotecode=True. An unauthenticated attacker can supply a malicious model repository containing custom Transformers code via automap in config.json or tokenizerconfig.json, which is imported and executed with the privileges of the OpenMed service process.

## Affected packages

- PyPI `openmed` < 1.5.2 → fixed: 1.5.2

## Affected products (CVE record)

- maziyarpanahi openmed: < 1.5.2

## Severity

- VulnCheck CVSS 4.0: 9.3 `CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N`
- VulnCheck CVSS 3.1: 9.8 `CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H`
- GitHub CVSS 4.0: 9.3 `CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N`

## Exploitation

- CISA KEV: not listed (no confirmed in-the-wild exploitation known to CISA).
- CISA SSVC assessment: exploitation none , automatable yes , technical impact total .
- FIRST EPSS (model of 2026-10-21): 1.29% probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days; percentile 70.
