CVE-2025-13707

7.8 HIGH

📋 TL;DR

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code as root on systems running vulnerable versions of Tencent HunyuanDiT. Attackers can exploit this by tricking users into visiting malicious web pages or opening malicious files. The vulnerability affects installations where the HunyuanDiT model_resume function processes untrusted data.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • Tencent HunyuanDiT
Versions: Versions prior to commit d2cb9cde5c9dc6a6c01735dcb92fe7699ddf6bc5
Operating Systems: All platforms running HunyuanDiT
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: The vulnerability exists in the model_resume function which handles serialized model data. Any installation processing untrusted model files is vulnerable.

⚠️ Manual Verification Required

This CVE does not have specific version information in our database, so automatic vulnerability detection cannot determine if your system is affected.

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Full system compromise with root privileges, allowing complete control over the affected system, data theft, and lateral movement within the network.

🟠

Likely Case

Remote code execution with root privileges leading to data exfiltration, installation of backdoors, or ransomware deployment.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact if proper network segmentation and least privilege principles are implemented, though root access still poses significant risk.

🌐 Internet-Facing: MEDIUM
🏢 Internal Only: HIGH

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ✅ No
Weaponized: LIKELY
Unauthenticated Exploit: ✅ No
Complexity: MEDIUM

User interaction required (malicious page/file). The vulnerability is documented by ZDI with advisory ZDI-25-1029, suggesting exploit development is likely.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Commit d2cb9cde5c9dc6a6c01735dcb92fe7699ddf6bc5 or later

Vendor Advisory: https://github.com/Tencent-Hunyuan/HunyuanDiT/commit/d2cb9cde5c9dc6a6c01735dcb92fe7699ddf6bc5

Restart Required: Yes

Instructions:

1. Update HunyuanDiT to the latest version from the official GitHub repository. 2. Verify the commit hash includes d2cb9cde5c9dc6a6c01735dcb92fe7699ddf6bc5. 3. Restart any services using HunyuanDiT.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Restrict model file sources

all

Only load model files from trusted, verified sources. Implement strict input validation for model_resume function inputs.

Network segmentation

all

Isolate HunyuanDiT instances from critical systems and restrict network access to necessary ports only.

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Implement strict application allowlisting to prevent execution of unauthorized code.
  • Deploy runtime application self-protection (RASP) solutions to detect and block deserialization attacks.

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check if your HunyuanDiT installation uses a version prior to commit d2cb9cde5c9dc6a6c01735dcb92fe7699ddf6bc5.

Check Version:

git log --oneline -1

Verify Fix Applied:

Verify the current commit hash includes d2cb9cde5c9dc6a6c01735dcb92fe7699ddf6bc5 by checking the repository or version information.

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual process execution from HunyuanDiT context
  • Errors in model_resume function logs
  • Unexpected network connections from HunyuanDiT processes

Network Indicators:

  • Suspicious outbound connections from HunyuanDiT hosts
  • Unusual traffic patterns to/from model file sources

SIEM Query:

process_name:"HunyuanDiT" AND (process_execution:unusual OR network_connection:anomalous)
