speaches: Use of Externally-Controlled Input to Select Classes or Code
CVE-2026-112145 is a high-severity use of externally-controlled input to select classes or code vulnerability in speaches from Speaches-ai, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.3 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. Affected speaches versions: 0.9.0-rc.0; 0.9.0-rc.1; 0.9.0-rc.2, and others listed below. The record does not name a fixed version, so check the vendor advisory. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.43% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.
High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.
What to do
- Check which version of speaches you run against the affected versions below, and install the vendor's latest release.
- Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.

| Vendor | Product | Affected versions | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|---|
| Speaches-ai | speaches | 0.9.0-rc.0; 0.9.0-rc.1; 0.9.0-rc.2; 0.9.0-rc.3 | Not stated |

Official description
A security vulnerability has been detected in speaches-ai speaches up to 0.9.0-rc.3. This vulnerability affects the function PyannoteDiarizationModelManager._load_fn of the file src/speaches/executors/pyannote_diarization.py of the component Pyannote Diarization Model Loading. The manipulation of the argument model leads to use of externally-controlled input to select classes or code. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The exploit has been disclosed publicly and may be used. The feature was introduced in PR #628 (feat/switch to pyannote audio), merged as commit 870e1e16a73452496e99d49f759eabd692a8e0e0. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.

The underlying weakness: Use of Externally-Controlled Input to Select Classes or Code
The product uses external input with reflection to select which classes or code to use, but it does not sufficiently prevent the input from selecting improper classes or code.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- Refactor your code to avoid using reflection.
- Do not use user-controlled inputs to select and load classes or code.
- Apply strict input validation by using allowlists or indirect selection to ensure that the user is only selecting allowable classes or code.
