I like how this article put it: https://martinalderson.com/posts/huggingface-openai-exploit/ > A final point on this - Hugging Face has an enormous attack surface. They have more interfaces than I can count which run untrusted models and code. While they definitely have invested in defences, by nature of their operating model they do have many more opportunities to be attacked than many other services. I certainly don't envy their cybersecurity teams. But yeah, from the way HF described it a Python pickle hole looks possible. Their datasets library uses the pandas.read_pickle() method here: https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/blob/d21c5816d5d1961...
In OpenAI’s accidental attack against Hugging Face is science fiction that happened
