CVE-2026-66007: Hugging Face Datasets folder-based builders allow path traversal through file_name metadata

July 24, 2026 (updated October 2, 2026)

Datasets through 5.0.0, fixed in f989ef9, contains a path traversal vulnerability in folder-based dataset builders where the file_name metadata field is not properly validated before being joined to the dataset directory. Attackers can supply crafted file_name values with directory traversal sequences to read arbitrary local files, which are then embedded into output when save_to_disk or push_to_hub is called.
