CVE-2025-49841
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedGPT-SoVITS-WebUI is a voice conversion and text-to-speech webUI. In versions 20250228v3 and prior, there is an unsafe deserialization vulnerability in process_ckpt.py. The SoVITS_dropdown variable takes user input and passes it to the load_sovits_new function in process_ckpt.py. In load_sovits_new, the user input, here sovits_path is used to load a model with torch.load, leading to unsafe deserialization. At time of publication, no known patched versions are available.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceGPT-SoVITS-WebUI versions 20250228v3 and prior contain an unsafe deserialization vulnerability where user input from the SoVITS_dropdown parameter is passed directly to PyTorch's torch.load() function without sanitization. An attacker can supply a malicious serialized model file path to achieve arbitrary code execution on the target system.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify GPT-SoVITS-WebUI installationLocate the GPT-SoVITS-WebUI application directory or check running processes for the webUI service. Common indicators include the project folder name 'GPT-SoVITS' or 'gpt-sovits-webui' and associated model directories.Affected if The application is installed and running on the system.
-
Determine installed versionCheck the version file, git commit history, or application metadata within the GPT-SoVITS-WebUI directory. Compare against version 20250228v3.Affected if The installed version is 20250228v3 or any prior version.
-
Verify web interface is accessibleConfirm the web UI service is running and reachable on its configured port (commonly port 9872, 9873, or 5000). Check if the SoVITS model selection functionality is exposed.Affected if The web interface is exposed and the SoVITS dropdown parameter can be accessed.
-
Inspect torch.load usage in source codeExamine the backend code handling the SoVITS_dropdown parameter. Locate the code path where user input is passed to torch.load(). Verify whether weights_only=True or safe loading methods are implemented.Affected if torch.load() is called with user-supplied input without weights_only=True or equivalent sanitization.
A user is affected if GPT-SoVITS-WebUI version 20250228v3 or earlier is installed, the web interface is accessible, and the SoVITS dropdown parameter feeds directly into torch.load() without safe deserialization settings.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedSince no official patch exists, restrict network access to the webUI interface, implement strict input validation on model file paths using allowlists, and if possible refactor the code to use torch.load with weights_only=True or alternative safe loading methods that avoid arbitrary object deserialization.
- No patch is currently available. Monitor the official GitHub repository (github.com) for security updates.
- Avoid exposing the SoVITS_dropdown feature to untrusted users or input.
- If possible, implement input validation on the sovits_path parameter to restrict paths to trusted model files only.
- Consider isolating the application in a sandboxed environment until a patch is released.
