CVE-2026-15535: Deserialization in AkariAsai self-rag
CVE-2026-15535 is a deserialization vulnerability in the AkariAsai self-rag project affecting the function Indexer.deserialize_from in retrieval_lm/src/index.py. Manipulating the argument index_meta.faiss can trigger deserialization, potentially exploitable remotely. The product uses a rolling release model, so no specific affected or fixed versions are identified. The issue was reported early but the vendor has not responded or provided a fix. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 5.3, indicating medium severity.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability involves unsafe deserialization in the Indexer.deserialize_from function of the retrieval_lm component in AkariAsai self-rag. An attacker can manipulate the index_meta.faiss argument to cause deserialization, which may lead to remote exploitation. The product is delivered via rolling releases, and no specific affected or patched versions are available. The vendor has not yet issued a response or remediation. The CVSS 4.0 vector indicates network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges or user interaction required, and low to low impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to perform deserialization attacks remotely, potentially leading to unauthorized code execution or other impacts depending on the deserialization context. The CVSS score of 5.3 reflects a medium severity with limited impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No known exploits in the wild have been reported.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Since the vendor has not responded or provided a fix, users should monitor official channels for updates. Until a fix is available, avoid processing untrusted input in the affected function if possible.
