The model customization process does not enforce secure design practices. The CustomiseLLM class allows for the modification of a pre-trained T5ForConditionalGeneration model without any security enhancements or checks, which can lead to insecure configurations.
Impact:
An attacker could exploit this by manipulating the model's behavior through configuration changes, potentially leading to unauthorized access or data leakage.
Mitigation:
Implement strict controls for modifying pre-trained models. Ensure that modifications are only allowed under controlled environments with audit trails and security reviews. Consider using a secure configuration management framework to enforce secure defaults and restrict modification capabilities unless absolutely necessary.
