Summary

skops, a Python library for sharing scikit-learn models, versions 0.12.0 and below, has a flaw in Card.get_model that permits arbitrary code execution. When a non-.zip model file is supplied, the function silently falls back to joblib, which runs code during loading and bypasses skops' trusted type validation.
