Summary
Sockeye, an open-source tool for Neural Machine Translation (a type of AI that translates text between languages), had a security flaw in versions before 2.3.24 where it used unsafe YAML loading (a method to read configuration files without proper safety checks). An attacker could hide malicious code in a model's configuration file, and if a user downloaded and ran that model, the hidden code would execute on their computer.
