CVE-2026-47749: leejet stable-diffusion.cpp heap buffer overflow in .ckpt parser

CVE-2026-47749 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.8 · Published 2026-06-16

stable-diffusion.cpp is a library used to run AI image generation models. A security flaw allows a malicious model file to crash the application or potentially take control of the computer when the file is opened. Users should only load model files from trusted sources and update to the latest version of the software.

Technologies: Leejet Stable-Diffusion.Cpp. Vendors: Leejet.

Technical details

A heap-based buffer overflow exists in the SHORT_BINUNICODE opcode handler within the pickle .ckpt parser in src/model.cpp. The vulnerability is caused by sign confusion where a one-byte length field is read as a signed 8-bit integer (int8_t). An attacker can provide a value such as 0xFF, which is interpreted as -1, bypassing length checks (e.g., -1 < 512) before being passed to memcpy as a size_t. This results in a massive memory copy (SIZE_MAX), leading to immediate heap corruption. Exploitation requires a user to load a specially crafted .ckpt file. The issue is fixed in version master-584-0a7ae07.
