CVE-2024-5206

A sensitive data leakage vulnerability was identified in scikit-learn's TfidfVectorizer, specifically in versions up to and including 1.4.1.post1, which was fixed in version 1.5.0. The vulnerability arises from the unexpected storage of all tokens present in the training data within the `stop_words_` attribute, rather than only storing the subset of tokens required for the TF-IDF technique to function. This behavior leads to the potential leakage of sensitive information, as the `stop_words_` attribute could contain tokens that were meant to be discarded and not stored, such as passwords or keys. The impact of this vulnerability varies based on the nature of the data being processed by the vectorizer.

Summary
  • (es) Se identificó una vulnerabilidad de fuga de datos confidenciales en TfidfVectorizer de scikit-learn, específicamente en versiones hasta la 1.4.1.post1 incluida, que se solucionó en la versión 1.5.0. La vulnerabilidad surge del almacenamiento inesperado de todos los tokens presentes en los datos de entrenamiento dentro del atributo `stop_words_`, en lugar de almacenar solo el subconjunto de tokens necesarios para que funcione la técnica TF-IDF. Este comportamiento conduce a una posible fuga de información confidencial, ya que el atributo `stop_words_` podría contener tokens que debían descartarse y no almacenarse, como contraseñas o claves. El impacto de esta vulnerabilidad varía según la naturaleza de los datos que procesa el vectorizador.
