LLaVA-NeXT HuggingFace Token Disclosure

Critical

Synopsis

LLaVA-NeXT is an open-source project focused on large multimodal models. 

The project suffers from a sensitive information disclosure due to an hardcoded HuggingFace token with privileged permissions exposed. By exploiting this information, a remote and unauthenticated attacker could conduct supply chain attacks and compromise the affected HuggingFace's organizations to perform malicious operations.

 

Solution

No official remediation is available at the time of the writing. Until the issue is resolved, any models or artifacts belonging to HuggingFace's organizations llms-lab, LongVa and Evo-LMM should be treated as untrusted.

A pull-request has been made against the project GitHub repository to help notifying maintainers about this vulnerability given the lack of previous responses.
