CVE-2026-111987 · Severity: medium · CVSS 4.3 · Published 2026-10-18

AUTOMATIC1111's Stable Diffusion web UI is a popular tool for generating AI-based images that processes model metadata when displaying extra-network cards. The vulnerability allows attackers to inject malicious code into model metadata (specifically the sshs_model_hash field in safetensors files), which executes in the browser when viewed by users. An attacker could redirect users to malicious websites, steal authentication tokens, or escalate to remote code execution through the extension installer.

## How to fix

- Fixed in <UNKNOWN>

<UNKNOWN>

## Technical details

Stored cross-site scripting in the read_metadata_from_safetensors function within modules/sd_models.py of the Extra-Networks Card Builder component. The vulnerability arises from insufficient sanitization of the __metadata__.sshs_model_hash field when displaying model cards, allowing attackers to inject JavaScript that executes in the context of the web UI. The attack can be triggered remotely by distributing malicious safetensors model files and requires no authentication; the vulnerability is further exploitable for remote code execution through the extension installer mechanism.
