Impact
The vulnerability is located in the wandb artifact handling component, specifically the ArtifactManifestEntry.download method in hashutil.py. It allows an attacker to manipulate a manifest entry so that a weak hash algorithm is used during integrity verification. It is inferred that this manipulation could allow tampered artifacts to bypass integrity checks. The weakness involves the use of weak hash functions (CWE‑327 and CWE‑328).
Affected Systems
The affected product is the wandb SDK version 0.25.2.dev1. Users employing this SDK for artifact handling, particularly those relying on artifact integration, are impacted.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS score is 2.3, indicating a low overall impact. The EPSS score is < 1 %, showing a very low likelihood of exploitation, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The attack may be initiated remotely but requires a high degree of complexity and is described as difficult to exploit. Therefore, while a potential integrity breach exists, its overall risk remains low under current conditions.
